Yes, I've used them several times over the years.... just make sure you write down how you mix them, what you mix them with, etc. You just never know when you might have to repair something down the road..... The pricing is pretty decent and the quality of the product is very good.

I have used them before as well.
Best to practice on a spare fender to make sure you get exactly the look you want in as few coats as possible.
Generally mixed with an inter-coat clear but there are other methods.

Yep, I usually run them in the intercoat clears as well. Just an opinion, but ********** makes a great intercoat. Not sure how much tech. you are up on but intercoats are clear base.

Ok, I don’t know what to do here, I’ve tried to post my problem 4 times and it just vanishes. If I try to post more than a couple sentences its gone , and I need paragraphs.

I bought the lime green candy pearl, I mixed a very tiny bit into a baby food jar of thinner and it came out dark emerald green, wrong color ! The attachment is the color Im after.

Paint with pearl says one bag will make a gallon of paint but I’m afraid of mixing it up and wasting a gallon of clear if it dont come out right.

You have to mix it proportionally to make a smaller amount.
Is that one bag to a RTS gallon of inter-coat clear?
How many ounces in the bag?
