Really liking the intercoat idea Tony! My stock color is ford grabber blue, but maybe after the base coats, one intercoat that has violet blue pearl would be cool to add some mysterious depth. Then finish up with clear. It would either be insanely awesome or totally suck - either way you've sparked some cool ideas here!
Hey Tony.....great videos on DIY projects. Just one question for you. If you use intercoat base coat mixed up with Pearl's or metallics, and you get a run or orange peel can you still wet sand it out??? Then apply straight clear coat will the run or orange peel still show up under the clear????

Can pearl be used with Matt clear or it has to be added only in base coat and can clear Gloss be mixed with clear Matt for satin finish or sheen for better durability and better looks? Here in India clear base is not available so is it possible to add a colored base and then mix the pearl in clear gloss for second coat and then add the third coat of matt and gloss mix for the sheen? Really looking forward for that pearl effect in satin or sheen finish...
Tony, I’m a guitar maker and want to have a real over the top finish on a telecaster I made. I don’t know what I’m doing, but here is what I want to do: metallic gold base, gold flake rustoleum rattle can glitter blast, covered in candy apple red duplicolor paintshop, but I would like to have pearl in it. Are there any problems here? I was thinking about adding the pearl in the candy.
Daddy #53 hi I do a good bit of custom painting on Cars , Motorcycles and many other random things people challenge me with. Here’s my Email address.. Robert.wes@aol.com Maybe I could help as well
Can you leave that hardened block of clear on like a hotplate for a few hours and have it turn back into a sprayable liquid?😅 Serious question for my curiosity
Hey Man! While it’s a curious idea, hardened clear coat cannot be reverted to a sprayable liquid, even with the application of heat. Once the clear coat has cured, it is a permanent, solid material. If you have leftover liquid clear coat that you don’t want to waste, be sure to only mix what you need for a specific job, as the remainder will eventually harden and become unusable.

One question I have about your comment of putting pearl in your clear coat and the possibility of a run with the pearl in your clear coat and not able to sand out. Wouldn't it be the same possibility with intercoat and having a run it?
Hey Man! You can use a clear coat as a carrier or a clear base coat. They sell certain carriers for certain custom projects but you don’t have to use what they sell. And yes, you can use a clear coat as your second stage, as a carrier to carry pearl, flakes, or candy. The only thing is when you’re using a clear coat and you screw up on that stage, you have to do the paint job over. Like if you ran pearl, flake, or candy during that stage. Hope this helps!

So if I use pearl in the midcoat instead of final clear coat and I get a run in that midcoat are you saying I would have to start all over? What would the fix be for a run in the midcoat?
Nice video, Tony, I just finished doing a Epoxy Carbon Fibre model, and I need to seal the Epoxy with Polyurethane..... Sense the Carbon Fibre is BLACK, can I spray 1 or 2 inter coats of Chameleon Red-Green Pearl Pigment on, then come back with 1 or 2 coat of Polyurethane Clear? I have a smile HVLP gun and very little experience. I'm kinda learn on the fly. Thanks in advance
Hi Great Video i am painting a 1960 XK falcon Velvet green i am going to drop some Pearl in to my topcoat before i spray the clear on, would that be ok.

Hey tony Quick question I want to repaint my 93 Audi S4 . its factory tricoat pearl white but I want the pearl to have more effect in the light and I don't know what Pearl to pick for this . please help
Loved your video. Me and a buddy of mine are gearing up to paint our cars early this summer.

Very hard to show you something like this through text. There would have to be some experimentation with shades of colors and pearl.
Can you dilute the pearl and binder with reduced?

Hi brother good morning I like your video
Question. Can I skip a basecoast and INSTEAD use an INTERCOAT over my primer with enough pearls to kind of make my own color.. I use plasti dip pearls, they have so much variety. I would then clear coat it
+Randy Meneses You would still need a basecoat color as pearls are semi transparent you would still see the primer under the pearl
Plz help how much pearl powder pigment do i add to 29ml of natural paint plz help
So, if its an intercoat clearcoat, going over the 1st color, how is it also a basecoat?..(im asking for the confused listeners).
There is a BASE version (DBC500) and you can also use a clear as an intercoat. learn more by here: learnautobodyandpaint.com
