If you breed a pewter to a normal your out come will be mix of normals, pastels, and cinnys or Black pastel? Right

Now if you bred a pewter to Pied you get hets, pastel hets, and cinny or Black pastel hets? Right

A pewter bred to a normal will produce 1/4 normal, 1/4 pastel, 1/4 cinny or black pastel and 1/4 pewters. A pewter or any other multi-codom morph in which the mutations are on different alleles (ie NOT mojave x lesser BEL) has the capability of reproducing itself when bred to a normal, it's just a matter of odds on whether or not it is produced.

A pewter bred to a piebald will produce the exact same things only every animal will also be heterozygous for the pied gene.
