Idrees Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Go for the pearl, it's a stunning colour mate. It's not hard to use, just like a metallic but I gave it a load of dust coats before lacquer and it has some nice pearl in it!A few pics, none that do the colour justice I must say.Idrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
