Did you know? Too much pearl will reduce the iridescent effect due to overcrowding of the pearl, and in turn may cause mottling or streaking...

"The size of the object being painted will also dictate the amount of pearl required. Larger objects require less pearl than smaller ones. When it comes to application on large objects, start low and add additional pearl slowly. Too much pearl will reduce the iridescent effect due to overcrowding of the pearl, and in turn may cause mottling or streaking. Apply more coats instead of mixing the pearl too strong. Now, when applying pearl over a dark base, make sure not to add too much pearl concentrate, as mottling or streaking can also occur quite easily." — Joe Ray @lowridermagazine (and photo)

In the event of dirt particles, runs, or sags in your topcoat, it's possible to remove these imperfections after fully baking and cooling the vehicle.

Sanding and polishing is most effective after complete baking and cool down. If you have any difficulty in achieving a true bake, overnight drying should be added to the procedure.

SANDING
Runs should first be sanded with 1000 to remove 90% of the defect. Then move to 1500 in the final part of sanding to give a flat, smooth, and recoverable surface. Dirt should be sanded with 1500, 2000, or equivalent.

POLISHING
• Polishing is best carried out with an electric polisher at 1500 rpm, fitted with a firm sponge pad.

• When working with compounding paste, always use small amounts.

• Only use a compound coarse enough to remove the sanding scratches and produce the gloss desired.

• Protect your new finish with a hand glaze-type product when all sanding scratches are removed

• A final wash with clean, fresh water on a sponge will remove splashes and residue.

NOTE: Polishing with a lamb's wool pad is not necessary with this system and should always be avoided in the interest of cleanliness in a paint shop.
