Ag100 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Does anyone have any recommendations for Pearlescent paint, I'm looking to do a single colour in White on a Lexan shell, but want a Pearl look, any recommendations on Paint (Core, Tamiya etc) and any techniques?

AndyMB Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 There is a Tamiya Pearl Clear PS-58 which you can use first (on lexan shells). It gives a nice pearly flake to the final paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @AndyMB , I had seen this, I was thinking of using that, then pearl white, then white to back, just curious if the Tamiya paint was the best option? (will just be aerosol not airbrush) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMB Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 This is a bad pic but shows the metalflake effect. This was PS-58 backed with normal PS-6 yellow. I only use Tamiya paint, I think it's the best but it's just my opinion really. This was two light coats of PS-58, I think a couple more would be better. One can would do a 1/10th shell easy.
