A9X, thats a very chunky pearl. Looks more like metal flake. Wouldnt mind knowing more/chatting with your painter...If it really is a pearl.

Hernes car is just a Halo fleck in a clear binder over orange, its nothing like a Pearl. Totally different ball game.

Cheers.

Hi mate, can't say i have any technical argument but i know mine is not metal or glitter in the traditional sense, if you dribble the liquid out of the bottle you can't see any suspended particle.

I can't think of the name that he called it, it'll come to me in a minute. Thought it started with a Z, but wtf would i know ???
it was the orange base colour plus a coat of the gold pearl ( i'll call it pearl ) plus then a clear coat. I think the 'pearl' is mixed in with the clear in the middle layer too, but i may be talkin' shit.

I do know that the painter referred to it as pearl in our initial talks. I was after a candy orange and he talked me out of it as it was a race car and would be needing touch ups along the way.

That is actually how i found my painter, i saw an orange kawasaki colour on a bike on the highway, asked at my local kwacka dealer for some paint ( fat chance ) and he put me onto the painter. Mike was a bike painter for many years before cars.

As soon as i remember the product name i'll yell.

If you look real close at my car paint, you don't see any metal or flake, its just solid colour. But stand back in the sun and bam , in ya face! It also comes up really nice at night under fluoro's.

Hope this helps

Welby

yep, know what you mean.

That's why i threw in the third pic, looking back along the side. Even though a bright day, it just looks a solid colour.

I'll think of it, and i'll get the painters number for ya. Sure it starts with z
