greenmac80 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 hmmm orange... hard colour to add flakes and pearls to. what ever you choose won't stand out that well.... but... for some subtle adds perhaps try a gold pearl.. or a really fine gold flake. also i would think that a red pearl would add some really good eyecatching nuances to the paint. look at DNA paints you can get trial canisters rather cheap and do a spray out of various ideas. also to add to this i would mix enough clear to do your tack coat and your first full 'wet coat' and mix the pearl or flake rather strong. then mix some clear for a 2nd and/or 3rd wet coat without any flakes. this adds depth and allow you to buff it back to absolute mirror finish without ti affecting the pearls. pm me if you wanna chat about painting.

ca18ae71 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Posted June 3, 2010 oh i was only adding pearl and flake to the red , but now i have changed my colour to orange it will be a flat straight orange Quote
greenmac80 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 think about it anyway orange is a nice colour... jst think about the xr5 ford focus orange.. its pure sex. Quote
ca18ae71 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Posted June 3, 2010 i have , gold ppg flake, and prismatic flakes here atm among others , i will give the gold flake a crack tomorrow on a test panel Quote
greenmac80 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 how big is the flake? i recently sprayed out a 200 micron flake and didn't enjoy the effect. when there isn't sun on it, it kinda looks like little specs of bird shit. (black specs) fine flakes are ok but pearls give a great effect in and out of the sun. Quote
ca18ae71 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Posted June 3, 2010 the colour is very close to this Quote
