Mixing pearls with Intercoat

Recommended Posts

I want to start mixing pearl pigments and flake with intercoat. A few questions since I don’t know much about it. What ratios are best? What’s a good intercoat brand? Are there any more hazards to using it than urethane based paints (I mostly use water based but just started using urethane based paints) any info would be much appreciated!

You can shoot most pearls with regular air brush medium or even reduced pledge unless you are using an automotive air brush or something else with a larger capacity, the smallest flake I have seen is .004" and that won't shoot through my Iwata. if I am using flake I just put it in the e-tex top coat.

I saw a you tube video on mixing epoxy with pearl powder. They say to mix the powder vigorously into just a small portion of epoxy first. That gets  rid of any clumps. Then add the rest of the epoxy and mix. 

You probably already knew that. But I am sure someone out there does not.
