What is a pearl?
A pearl is typically a dry powder that can be added to a multitude of paint products. Pearls come in dozens of colors, and they are the consistency of baby powder. Spraying a white base, followed by a blue pearl, and then clearcoat, will give you a white finish that has a pearl-blue haze/hue when seen at certain angles. Likewise, spraying a red pearl over black will produce a black paintjob under low level light conditions, but in the sunlight and at certain angles, there will be a very fine subtle red shimmer. Pearls can be sprayed over basecoats, mixed into candies, sprayed under candies, and mixed into (intercoat) clear, just to name a few.
