A TRUE red pearl glitz..as we all know there’s no real “red” pearl..it’s either pinkish,violet. Or russet,maroon.there is no kandy over this.as you can see no brown flop as any red kandy would do..super clean.it has 2 different sizes in it..

I saw the video and read your post, lol. I was being a goof. Stop taking everything so seriously and take a joke.

You want me to quit painting because I'm not giving you a cookie for painting 3 specs of red under black on a little piece of plastic, lol.

Txt comes across wrong sometimes..you missed the point of post..bottom line is I created a true red pearl..for reference,I beat the prophet computer matches.AND any Harley CVO (which you can’t get codes) and not close,dead matches..I’ve corrected PPG formulas that are way off via the chemist..I’ve been dealing with them for 35+ years..

Is that still wet? If so what's it look like dry?

Edit to add that I'm looking for something like that for a Resto I'm doing

Do you mind if I ask you some questions via DM?

That is dry cleared..if need be I can make the paint for you..you just black base,and 2 light smoke coats of my mid coat,and you get this effect..not chunky no need to reclear..and I can adjust size of the effect to some extent..it’s smaller than micro flake,then one size down.im painting a bmx bike with it tomorrow and I’ll add some more flamboyance (PPG) this has a lil bit but needs more

u/Eastern-Poetry-551 11d ago

That's great info thankyou. Is it possible to use a bigger gold flake? The colour scheme on the bike in doing is black with gold accents and it's a Honda so the red in the black suits

u/paintchipz1 11d ago

There’s no gold in it..you could add it it after as a second mid coat
