Re: Question about Pearl white

I would spray clear over the pearl white before using any compound or polish, that way you wouldn't damage the tiny pearl particles.

Definately clearcoat it, and then polish the clearcoat.

Re: Question about Pearl white

clear coat it. Paint is quite "rough".

Also, take extra care to the primer. This paint is very transparent.

Re: Question about Pearl white

I used Tamiya's pearl white. The finish was nice and smooth so I clear coated my car and then polished it.
