pearl painting

[buckeye]

Fixin to put a Manco T-bird together for my wife. Just finished the engine in Duplicolor white ceramic.
Wanting to paint the frame in a purpleish blue pearl.
So my question, is it possible rattle can?

Buckeye, check this link out in the Yamaha Enduro board. This paint thread talks about rattle can pearl. Might want to read all the post. Lots of good reading about paint

I think I have seen pearl Duplicolor paints :shrug: maybe try the websites of Duplicolor, Rustoleum, etc.

I've used this before, not really a pearl but more of a chameleon color. Pretty pricey too.

Dupli-Color :: Mirage

That's what I was thinking of.

Thanks for replys. Think the duplcolor color switch or whatever it's called is the choice.
Everything I have read says for the best pearl results don't mention rattle can as the method of choice.
So I'm going to use the shifting paint. There are several different color combos.

Post pics Buckeye, I wanna see how it turns out. :thumbsup:

 

[buckeye]

Bwaahhhaa I'll try. Some times I can, sometimes I can't.

if you have an automotive paint store near you give them a call, they may be able to custom mix the color you want and put it in a rattle can... I know they do it here locally but it's not cheap..

Just send it to me along with a $500.00 Postal Money order and you will get a pearl paint job with a real spray gun !:laugh:

Don't use the Duplicolor black that comes with the 3-can kit. I've had really good results with Krylon Ultra-black...it lays down smooth.

Buying the colorchange paint in cans made to spray out of a gun is way expensive...but the paint from the spray bombs can be taken out and used in a gun if you can use one. It gives you way more control and your color will go furthur. Just turn the can upside down and empty out all the propellant. Let the can warm up again and make sure it's all gone before you open the can.

Get yourself some good catalyzed clear for your topcoat...you can get it in spray cans now.

Good luck!

Thank you. No spray gun. So it's rattle can.

Have you seen the aerosol tops with the paint cup bottom? Again check your local automotive paint supply or even Napa. That allows you to spray a mixed color and get good results. Not as good as a gun but more color choices. Also House of Kolor had a sweet aerosol line.

No prob...I gotta say the colorshift paints are super easy to spray...even using a spray bomb. Get a charcoal half-face respirator and you can use the 2K clearcoat....

Will do,thanks guys. Gotta make it purdy. It's for my wife. Maybe she'll think she looks cute on it.

It's very hard to capture the color change in a pic but this was done with the mirage purple/green kit

 

[buckeye]

That actually is the color I want to do. Sounds easy enough. And looks good.

 

[Clayon]

That looks great joekd. :thumbsup: I like that color.
