To learn more about pearl colors visit our pearl colors page in the colors menu above. The durability of pearl finishes is generally comparable to that of metallics colors. From an application stand point 2 stage pearls are comparable to their metallic counterparts in ease of application but 3 stage pearls are often more challenging due to the transparent nature of the pearl midcoat. On the contrast, darker and medium shades are well suited for 2 stage applications and often will cover or hide the surface beneath well. In fact many light colored pearl colors such as white pearls require a specific base color underneath making them a true 3 stage color. Lighter colored pearl car paint colors tend to be more transparent than lighter colored metallic shades and as such many pearl car colors require a uniform color underneath since the lighter pearl color is likely not to hide color differences beneath. Pearl colors can be 2 stage where a pearl base color is applied then cleared or a 3 stage system where a solid base color is applied, then a pearl midcoat, and a protective clearcoat. As such, pearl colors are said to have more "color depth" than the average car paint color. Unlike metallic colors whose sparkle is based on a silver aluminum platelet, pearls are available in a wide range of sparkle colors and sizes. Pearl Paint Colors with colored shimmers are made by combining special pigments called pearlescent pigments with traditional transparent pigments. To see these in-person purchase a hand sprayed chart in the color selectors area in the online store. To learn more about metallic paints visit our metallic paints page. Metallic paints are often confused with metal flake paint which is a very different type of sparkling paint color that will be discussed later in more detail. Relatively speaking durability of metallic paints is good to excellent depending on the system used and color. As a general rule, lighter colored metallic paints are more difficult to apply evenly than darker ones. From an application standpoint, metallic paints can range from very easy to apply to more challenging depending on the color chosen. Combining these metallic pigments with a wide range of transparent pigments yields thousands of distinctly different car paint colors. This metallic pigment gives paints a sparkle with numerous variations in sparkle size and brightness based on the type of metallic pigment used. The Tetrosyl red chassis paint for example has lead chromate in it.Metallic car paint colors are colors that have a sparkle to them originating from a finely ground metallic aluminum pigment.
The trouble with High St stuff like Hammerite is that they are governed by chemical sales regs and the industrial stuff is the only stuff which has any useful ingredients in it any more. I think on balance that Tetrosyl chassis paint is better than epoxy mastics as these need better surface preparation and are much more expensive.
With Bonda it is even better as Bonda is really great stuff too. I have used it for all sorts of things since. Where it had about three coats, it is all intact as it has effectively sealed the rust from the atmosphere preventing it from getting worse. I did my 2B chassis in this back in 2000 and it wasn't exactly prepared to a high degree painting onto still rusty bare metal. At about £30 a gallon it isn't too dear and not only is very forgiving as to surface preparation, it is a high gloss finish too. I have referred in the past to Tetrosyl Chassis paint, and swear by this.
