Pearl white over metalic blue base?
I was wondering what should come out if i sprayed tamiya pearl white over tamiya metallic blue on my FD model. I have some pics of the car with a rough base coat. I am hoping that the result could be a pearl white with a bit of a blue effect in the pearl (sorry if im not coming across easily, the effect is hard to describe.)
heres a pic of the car right now...  thnx.

Re: Pearl white over metalic blue base?
Hey,
Sounds like a good idea. I have done it a few times. The result is very nice. Has a nice effect under different lights. If you use the gunze white pealr though, it gives the color a white transparent coat, almost like a colorshift, under certain lights. Frank X. |

Re: Pearl white over metalic blue base?
don't slab on one deep coat, cause it will look stupid. Give it a few coats and it should look real nice

Pearl white don't cover much. after 3 or 4 light coat, it should look nice

You can get away with one or two light uniform coats of the pearl white on top. After that it looks like a mistake. Been there done that. I love to experiment... And you can't fix it by adding more pearl white at that point... - Mark
