Safety

P260: Do not breathe in dust

Warning! It is important to read the safety data sheet and follow the safety instructions when using this product: use in an area with adequate ventilation or air circulation, and wear a respirator and overalls.

Recommended application method

For the powdered mother-of-pearl spraying technique, we recommend applying it to a black background that has been sanded with P500 grit sandpaper.

Spray the pearlescent finish from a distance of 20 to 40 cm, at an angle of 30 to 60° to the surface. We recommend first applying a coat of REPAINT primer (for a maximum of five minutes) to ensure the pearlescent finish adheres properly to the surface.

Next, apply a glossy car polish to protect and bring out the pearlescent, iridescent effect.

Coverage of the sprayed mother-of-pearl powder: between 3 and 5 m²

Mixing in paints:

Automotive pearlescent powders can be used to create bespoke paints by mixing 4 per cent into a clear base, i.e. a single-component binder to be top-coated (HS for an iridescent effect or MS for a smoother finish).

The mixture can be enhanced with transparent Candy colourant to intensify or alter the colour without affecting the light-reflecting properties inherent in mother-of-pearl pigments.
