Baitjunkys Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Just don't heat it in the micro, presto pot only. If it contains any metalics that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 It is the same stuff we use with a real HIGH price tag. Some of the cheap ones are 10 bucks for two ounces. Some others are 100 bucks for two ounces. Not really cost effective for most. Have to watch what you are buying to some auto pearls are a liquid. Not compatable with what we use.

Frank Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I am in that trade too. I know what you mean, it's free. We are in a waterborne area now so none of the stuff is useful. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I have used the auto pearls. Not as impressive as you would expect. The black pretty much looks the same as regular black colorant. The copper looks real good. The flip colors dont flip. Here is purple to green and then green to gold with titanium flake. .....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPPY Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Bill..I really use the pearls with my whites or clear..could it be you have too much pearl..littles always better..maybe it could just be the color..but whites are best for me anyway..and frank we to are converting over to waterbase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteSS Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Pearls in cars are painted over a base coat or are in the clear coat? I think flips and chameleons are usually over a black base. here is LC pearl I I added to white I prefer hi-lite for clear or translucent baits. This is clear with a ton of very fine holographic glitter. ....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 If you want to use pearls to color a bait you can as seen above but if you want to hilite a bait with it you have to come up with colors that are transparent enough for the pearl to show through. Yes on cars the pearl is on top in a clear. Try a dark smoke with the flop pearl and see if it is better. Cheap flop pearls are not real good at flopping though.
