seriously you say you want a bright white then you say pearl, to me thats kind of a contradiction. the only pearl you can put over white and not dirty it is a glass pearl which is not peal. hok ice pearl. hok two quarts of white sealer two quarts of bc white. the truth is in the airbrush streak. hok nothing briter. can do a whole car with a quart of each but thats me.

well the sealer has too much blue in there bud and i have tried that white if you spray them with an airbrush over black they are night and day and sealer is not to be cleared over you will have pealing and oxidation quickly

sealer should never be cleared, delam is inevitable  sealers are a epoxy base and dry completely different then urethane base coats, as the sealer drys it will push the clear right off also you should never apply a base on a wet sealer the "wet on wet" is just a crash waiting to happen as for the hok sealers its up to you but i tell ya i and done more repairs due to there products then most any of the others, the sg intercoat products series being the only ones worse we quit using all hok products about 6 years ago as have most of the other shops around here because of numerous problems and no support for valspar i have done a lot of paint clinics and taught painting classes in many of the shop's and collages and every one i have talked to is beginning to see the light hok is just not the product it once was if it works for you good, but you really owe it to yer self to look around, a lot of headaches will go away also the koseal is very blue, the pigment in it is a caulk base not a titanium base thats why, if you try and airbrush over it you will soon realize this unless your using a blue candy for yer wash, try using a yellow candy over it and you will see it turn green right before your eyes .

its an ok black i prefer to add a little this and a little that for my blacks. hok seal is not made to be cleared over if you want to go by tech show me where it recomends that. base is not the weak link its the membrain for the bind between sealer and clear. the silver was not designed for a clear coat it was designed for an undercoat for the uk. they now print on the can UNDERCOAT.
