Was the paint you bought actually labeled as chromakey paint?
Usually, you have to go to a shop that sells or rents professional
lighting equipment and hardware.
What you have may do fine, we can't tell from here. Several have
claimed to have success with paint mixed at the paint store.
Paint sold specifically for chromakeying has very pure color of
a specific hue. Usually blue or green. Ultimatte paint is the same,
except that the paint has to meet ultimatte's specs, and I think
the hues for Ultimatte Blue and Green may be slightly different,
than the normal Chromakey colors.
All of that being said, if you are doing blue screen and somebody
walking on the set in bluejeans, their legs may disappear. bluejeans
aren't very pure, so anything will work. It's all a mater of how well it
works.
