< The front and back have no significant info except for the product overview like these are pearl powders that can be mixed with enamel, aclyric or lacquer blah blah blah. >
Example 1
Mix 10 cc of clear with one level spoon of FG Pearl
- Top coat over black or similar chromatic color to create a sensitive pearl color.
- Brightness may be lost when used on white or any of the lighter colors.
Example 2
Mix 10 cc of clear with eight level spoons of FG Pearl
- When applied relatively thick on white base coat, it will create a translucent pearl effect like the pearl shell.
- When applied relatively thick on black base coat, it will create the brightest effect.
- On gray base coat, it will create both translucent and bright effect, but the balance between them depends on the darkness of gray.
- When using chromatic color for the base coat, pick the color similar to the pearl.
- Depending on the angle viewed from, the ray reflected on the pearl pigment may be blended with other complementary colors reflected on the base coat, and this effect is more noticeable on lighter base color.
Complementary colors
Yellow : Bluish Purple
Orange: Pastel Green
Red: Green
Blue: Yellow
Lilac: Yellowish Green
Green: Red
* The two mixing ratios are examples and can be adjusted accordingly, but we recommend that you mix no more than than Example 2.
* As the amount of pearl increases, the surface tends to lose its glossiness. If you need a glossy finish, we recommend using clear top coat, followed by polishing and waxing.
* Achromatic colors are black, gray and white. Everything else is chromatic.
Rainbow Pearl
Titanium mica pearl pigment uses refined mica powder coated with oxidized titanium. White pearl pigment, such as the one used in MG Pearl, uniformly reflects all visible rays, while FG Pearls reflect a specific color according to the thickness of the titanium coating--we call it Rainbow Pearl colors. They're also referred to as interfered colors or polarized colors. One of the primary features of the Rainbow Pearl is its strong dependency to the base coat, and understanding its characteristics is crucial to the result. Each product blocks a specific range of colors, but the remaining complementary colors reach the underlying base coat. If the base coat is unabsorbable (like white), the complementary colors bounce back and blend with the blocked color, resulting in less vivid finish. On the other hand, if the base coat is absorbable like black, gray or similar to any of the complementary colors, the rays reflected on the base coat have less effect on the surface, resulting in more vivid finish. Generally, darker the base color, move vidid the finished appearance gets. As such, choosing the right kind of base color for your desired finish is crucial. On a side note, mixing pearl pigments will dull the result, so it's not recommended, unless you desire to do so for your own reasons.
