Pearl?
Is there a rattle can that comes in pearl? What are you guys using to get the pearl finish?

Krylon has "Make it Pearl" in rattle cans. I believe most of the guys are using createx for their pearl. Careful on mixing the Krylon with Rustoleum though. I don't think they are compatible.

Ross, I've been using the Createx Pearl in my Airbrush. If you want to paint a few let me know and I can bring the airbrush and compressor by for you.
Let me know.....

Several sources. Createx pearl, Daler & Rowney Pearlescent pearl acrylic ink, Behr Paint Blue pearl or Gold pearl and Lumierre Pearl ( needs slight thinning to airbrush but works nicely). Or base white with a fog of silver over works as well.
|
Why even try.........

Be carefull with the Lumierre paints. I know from experience that the mettalics and Enviro lite do not get along. |

True enough but I no longer Envirotex anything it's all 2 hour epoxy. Good hard and tough finish. |

Anyone know if you can add the pearlex powder pigment into the clear coat after its painted ? That might be another way to get what you want.

Mac do you have a pic of something that you did with the pgment added to the clear? I assume that is the finish coat of clear.

Pearl ex is funto mess around with, in the clear coat. Try dry brushing some on as well, I use the red/blue on black danny's, I use the tip of my finger to create a pretty sweet looking lateral line, a lil bit goes a long way.

The violet interference pearl in clear over black makes for the most pissa blurple you ever saw.  |
