Adding pearl

I have some satin white paint and want to add pearl what is the ratio so I can order some?

It's not like a set ratio for pearls....add them to your taste. I would recomend using a silver pearl, like a DP24 alabaster white, or dp28 silver from HOK as they will keep the yellow out of it and keep more of a pure white tone.or maybe a dr01 white sparkle for a bigger pearl.


or if you really want it to pop use ice pearls and add a couple colours of pearl along with the white.

do some IP02 ice white, and throw in some IP04 ice violet and someip07 turquise, just to give it some pop under sunlight.

Or you could go with pearls from ALSA they are a bit cheaper than HOK and have some killer colours too.

Maybe use CRY-S silver for the majority of the pearl and use smaller amounts of CRY-B blue, CRY-V violet and CRY-G green...and do a sprayout when you think there is almost enough pearl in the paint, and clear it...it will show up much more once it is sprayed out.

hope this helps.

Would it still look good with satin paint?

it will not show up as much as it will in a glossy paint...what kinda paint you using

I dont know , no label I do know it was enamel and cheap so Im gonna use it instead of primer for now

dont mean to jack the thread but can you mix single stage paint with pearl?
