does anybody here know how to make a pearl finish?
There are actually three ways do achieve this;
1- This is a rather obvious way, getting your hands on a pearl paint.
2- Get some pearl powder and mix it with the paint.
3- get some pearl powder and mix it with a gloss clear coat.
There are a few places that sell pearl powder and in different shades, I use the normal one which looks white but gives a metallic sheen to the paint. HLJ for example sells them made by a company called Wave. These are the ones with a colored sheen to them.
I found mine with a company that sells products where you can make your own soap bars. Surely you can find the pearl powder somewhere on the net that fits your needs.
Good luck and happy building
which of those 3 method produces the best result?
thx
A pearl paint and mixing pearl powder into the paint works best for me. The lather depends on which pearl powder you use.
The method of mixing pearl powder to a gloss clear coat is more or less a last resort option.
I hope this answers your question.
Good luck and happy building
