Our Pearl is made from quality product designed for use in Paint and gelcoat products with excellent UV protection. Nothing but the best! This pearl starts with a synthetic mica which is then coated with a layer of metallic oxide. This has advantages over natural mica with higher purity, less black spotting, improved UV protection, improved and cleaner luster with greater chroma. This is more stable when exposed to higher temperatures such as powder coating. Rated for 1800F. We have many colors and sizes available.We will offer a 5 gram sample size, a 20 gram "shaker jar" and a 35 gram Clear Plastic Jar. Your shipment will be shipped in a sturdy box to give a high degree of certainty that your purchase will survive shipment to you. NOTE: If this listing does not have enough quantity for your needs contact us and we can increase the quantity available. How much Pearl? This depends on your desired effect. Generally you will not want to add more than 25-100 grams to a gallon of clear coat or Intercoat clear (clear basecoat which is my preferred method of application) when using with automotive clear. If adding to color, more pearl may be needed if a highly concentrated pigment is used in the color or a very high pearl effect is desired. For Candies, I use sparingly in the candy to tweak the color or change the side tone and this also can camouflage minor paint defects. For DIP products, 25 Grams to a Gallon seems to be recommended by our users. Spraying color samples with different amounts of pearl is advised before spraying your actual project!
