a killer scheme me and my carnal did on a some cars were with pearls. first you apply the base coat(we used black),then spray the pearl(green works awsome). after,you tape off some designs,air brush black shade around the edges of the tape. remove tape and clear! finished product,when it's in an angle,it looks black and as the light starts to hit it,the pearl and patterns start to show and then fades. :scrutinize:
makes you say"DAMN IT! I know i saw patterns!" :banghead:
yeah,but you'd have to spray the pearl with a gun.you can even use a touch up gun. also,the pearl comes in powder and is in jars.depending on how much pearl you put in the clear,the more the color will stand out. i'll try to find the pic of one of the first ones we did and post it!
