Pearl EX Powder?

Hi guys!

I heard that Pearl EX Powder can be used on car models. Is that true? Did someone already use it? It must be mix with clear, but can it be mixed with acrylic and lacquer clear?

Someone got pictures of cars paint with this?

Thanks!

Take a look at this, it'll answer most of your questions.

There was an article in Scale Auto a few years ago about these dry pearls, basically they said they can be mixed into anything, lacquer, enamel, acrylic. They can be mixed into clear to be used as a metallic paint, or with less pearl in the mix they are used as a tinted pearl clear for various effects.

I have a few jars to use but did not experiment with them yet (but the colors are very nice, and the flakes look in scale)

Thanks guy!

Yeah, I saw the article in Scale Auto, that's why I was asking the question.
I bought a some jars, gonna do some test and post my results.

Any suggestions on where I can find this stuff? Sounds interresting!

I ordered some on Ebay, it's not really expensive.
