The mix lab
Dial in your dose
Pearls are mixed into your base, so the amount is a taste decision as much as a formula. Start subtle. You can always add more on the next coat. You cannot take it out.
Standard is our recommended dose for this pearl: up to 25 grams per gallon
SubtleStandardLoud
—grams of pearl
—bags
Loud runs past the standard dose. Mix thoroughly, strain, and expect a touch of texture on heavy coats.
Mix into your base and strain before spraying. Numbers follow this pearl's maximum ratio.
The base decides
Same pearl. Three personalities.
Pearl rides on top of your base color, so the base does half the talking. Darker bases make the flip louder. Lighter bases soften it into a glow. This pearl's home: Black Base.
Works in
If it dries clear, it takes this pearl
Mica pearl doesn't dissolve or react. It disperses into any clear carrier that hardens, then plays with light forever. Most pearls come in 5 and 25 gram bags, and the 25 is the working unit almost everywhere.
Peelable coatings
25g per gallon
= one 25g bag per gallonOne bag pearls a full gallon of clear dip. Spray it, love it, peel it when you want the next color.
Base & clear coats
25g per quart
= one 25g bag per quart of intercoatThe pro route: one bag per quart of intercoat clear over your base, buried under 2K clear.
Candy & colorshift
25g per 2 quarts
= one 25g bag per two quartsBuild a candy coat by coat, or run the full colorshift over a black base.
Powder coating
3-5% by weight
= one 25g bag per pound of clear powderBlend into clear powder for pearl wheels and parts. Fully stable at cure temperature.
Epoxy & river tables
1-3% by weight
= a 5g bag per small pour, 25g per tabletopA pinch per few ounces of resin turns a pour into a pearlescent showpiece.
Tumblers & coasters
1g per few oz
= a 5g bag does 4 to 5 tumblersThe tumbler crowd's secret ingredient. One bag colors dozens of epoxy tumblers.
Garage floor epoxy
2-4 oz per gallon
= four 25g bags per gallon of binderThe 3D metallic floor look under your pearl car. Same pigment, bigger canvas.
Fishing lures
0.7g per oz topcoat
= a 5g bag finishes a season of luresFlashes like baitfish scales and never fades in sun or water. UV stability is the whole point.
Guitar & instrument finishes
to taste in lacquer
= a 5g bag per body is plentyMix into clear lacquer for a pearl burst worthy of the stage. Level sand between coats.
Hydro dip & airbrush
1 bag per quart base
= one 25g bag per quart of basePearl bases under hydrographic film, or through the airbrush for helmets and one-offs.
Automotive grade, not cosmetic grade: beautiful in coatings, resin and craft finishes, but not certified for skin or lips. In candles keep it under 1% or the wick clogs. Kiln firing past 900C destroys the effect.

Pearl questions, answered
How much pearl do I need?
Use the mix lab above: pick your base volume and how loud you want the effect. Most single-color jobs land between half a bag and two bags. Under-mix first. You can always add more pearl to the next coat, but you cannot take it back out.
Does it spray through a normal gun?
Yes. Mix the pearl thoroughly into your base, strain it, and spray with your usual setup. Keep the material agitated between coats so the pearl stays suspended.
Peelable or permanent?
Both. Pearls are a pigment, not a system. They ride in peelable bases, permanent midcoats, epoxy and clears alike. What you mix them into decides how long they stay.
Will the color fade in the sun?
These are high UV-resistance pigments. The pearl itself holds its color. Longevity in the real world follows the base and topcoat you mix it into.
Why does the base color matter so much?
Pearl is semi-transparent. Light passes through it, hits your base, and comes back. A dark base absorbs the pass-through and pushes the flip forward. A light base reflects everything and softens the effect into a glow.
