Pearl-Ex
 

After talking to CS a couple of weeks ago I decided to pick up some Pearl-Ex to try. This is a very fine powder that can be added to paint, epoxy etc. to add a pearlescence effect. Capesams warned me that a" little goes a long way". Well he isn't kidding. I added a small clump (at least I thought it was small):smash: to the epoxy and mixed again. It brushed on without knowing it was in the epoxy (feeling wise) but the effects are unreal. It comes in a bunch of different colors too. :D

:eek: oooooooo!...see ya got a pc. o tail on there:D

hey isn't that one of my plugs? :D

Dave if you ever can't find that stuff I got the motherload here, bought out a bunch of AC Moore stuff when they was dumpin it.

Gonna find out tomorrow. Hopefully good as I already painted it:huh:

Nice work Newell, as usual. That pearl really stands out. So you mixed the Pearl into the epoxy ?. interesting stuff.

expensive automotive paint
 

its like 360 bucks for a pint or a half pint - somethin like that
but - the truck its painted with - that lives next door changes color as you walk by....purple to silver to green to blue and back again ....which i thought would be perfect for this application. i guess it has the finest
(smallest) grade of metalflake particle in it there is... funny is that the owner has countless stories of these old ladies trying to tell him at signal lights that his truck is turning color as if thats a serious problem....:smash: :eek:

I am going to make up a large pencil popper . Use just plain white for color, then mix the colors up a little. ( I bought like 5 differrent colors. Will post pics.

Second thought I'll have 1 ready for tomorrow:D

WOW
 

I can't begin to wonder where you guys get the time for stuff like this. Am I the only one with kids or somethin'?
:claps:

I just lock the kids in a closet and do what I want to do!! :laughs:

Re: WOW
 

Suftster get with the program:smash: kids are for sanding and tying your bucktails:D I cant wait to get some of those little elves:laughs:

My daughter ties my buck tails! Does a ok job to!

Now if I can get my son to buy a boat and buy all the stuff Like i have done for years I would be al set!!

Well mixed up some epoxy and put 4 colors of pearlex in ( red blue, silver, gold, )Here is what I looked like

So I thought what the heck.....These 2 plugs were only coated with a primer prior to epoxying. (the red on Pencil is from a red paint marker) and ...........voila

Newell Guy, Your stuff has come a LOOOONG way in such a short amount of time, course it helps that you've turned like 500 plugs in the last 5 months!:D Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming(where's the Altoids box?:confused: ;) )johnny "the Ratt Boy"
