Speckles in TS Micas?

I know there are fat little speckles in Tamiya's metallic sprays. Are there any in the micas? I've been cruising the gallery, and I can't tell what I really see... :o

Mica blue and Mica red are Micas, what are you looking for?
Tamiya makes a whole range of metallics, but very few Micas Jay.....
what do you have in mind??

I'm thinking TS-50 Mica Blue over TS-14 Gloss Black.

I've been experimenting with TS-44 Metallic Blue over TS-14 Gloss Black, but it's really spangle-ly...-y... :bloated:

Are you gonna do the new nsx with the revised front end??? :confused:

He's been having wet dreams about it for a while now! :p:p :silly:

Yeah, so... :rolleyes: Who wants to tell me about colors...?

The Mica paints have finer pigments in them than Metallics, yet still different than Pearls. Mica's aren't as opaque as some of the other colors like French Blue but not as semi transparent as TS16 Yellow or TS8 Italian Red. Mica Blue gets darker the more you put on so that might be a better way to get the shade you want than putting it over black, which is going to darken it beginning with your very first coat. Start out with a white primer base or TS30 Silver Leaf so you don't start out too dark, you want the color to pop with good highlights, not a color that is muted.:)
