Three-Coat Pearl: Color Base Mixing
|
|
Because these pearl colors look transparent through the color base, it is necessary to match the color to the color base film (intermediate coat 2) after polishing the top coat down to the color base layer (intermediate coat 2).

Pearl Base Film Thickness:
|
|
|
|
Because the color changes greatly due to the thickness of pearl base paint film, prepare 3 to 4 test paint pieces, each with a different number of spray gun passes of pearl base paint. Then choose the one closest to the actual body color. When applying paint to the repair area, use the number of spray gun passes as the matching test piece. | |

Generally with the white pearl colors, thicker paint layers increase the brightness as viewed from a 45 ° angle. However, the color viewed from the side becomes deeper. Interference pearl paints show a deeper hue when viewed from a 45 ° angle, and its complementary color becomes deeper when viewed from the side. | | |

|
Some two-coat pearl paints have a metallic base in addition to pearl mica. Select the necessary metallic base in addition to the pearl base for these type paints. | |
|
|
|
The colors of paints with only pearl mica are greatly affected by paint viscosity and spray pressure. When viscosity is low and spray pressure is high, the color becomes lighter because the pearl mica content becomes stronger.
When the paint contains both pearl mica and metallic bases, it should be applied the same way as a metallic base paint. | | | |
