Automotive Paint or Coatings
Use any of our Illusion Pearls, Kolor Pearls, chameleons, or metal flakes in your next custom paint job. By using our automotive paint tips, you can save thousands of dollars in some cases, and hundreds of dollars in most cases, with the same end result. A perfect custom paint job.
Powder Coating
Our Illusion Pearls, Kolor Pearls, and most of our Metal Flakes are temperature rated at around 400 degrees F, making an ideal additive for clear powder coatings. Give any powder-coating project a true custom paint look with our additives. Also, by using our products, you can color match your automotive paint to your powder coat. We have one powder coater using our Thermo in powder coat. Start with one bag of pigment (25 grams) per pound of clear powder. You can stretch it to 2 pounds depending on the amount of color saturation you are looking for. All of our pigments can be used in clear powder coat. The only products that have a lower temperature threshold are the thermochromic pigment and the chameleon flakes (in jars). We have had powder coaters use these but only in low heat cure powder.
Gel Coat
Use our Illusion Pearls, Kolor Pearls, Chameleons, and Metal Flakes in your fibreglass gel coat to give a metallic sparkle to your surfboard, boat, outrigger, or any other fibreglass project. Make an ordinary white bathtub into a white pearl bathtub. The possibilities are endless. If you work with fiberglass, we are your friend.
