My goal for my current project is to have the paint finish to match a 60's/70's high impact color..(in this instance 'Top Banana'), but with a with a deep, rich metallic/pearl/ candy finish. For lack of a better example, remember the Testors MM Aluma Yellow Pearl? That color, but as a color matching basecoat under a candy yellow 2k clear. What would be the ideal method to achieve such a finish as that? I was told that a pearl over a solid, could potentially make the yellow appear much more pale if too much is applied. Your thoughts?

I placed an order with Splash Paints LLC last Friday, March 23. It just arrived today. The order was contained in two USPS Priority Mail boxes attached together. The contents were protected inside with foam peanuts. Besides being extremely fast, the cost was more than reasonable at just over $15. All of the colors I purchased are flat, base-coat in nature. They come in 1 fl.oz. plastic bottles with metal ball agitator. They should be clear coated. They are airbrush ready and just require shaking the bottle before use. Here are is a list of the products that I purchased: Viking Blue SP-031 Green H*ll Magno SP-029 Racing Yellow SP-006 Rubystone Red SP-016 Grigio Titans SP-027 Solarbeam Yellow SP-026 Miami Blue SP-024 Ultra Violet Purple SP-021 Giallo Triplo Strato SP-022 Arancio Atlas SP-003 I also purchased Gloss Clear (2 fl.oz.) and Flat Clear (2 fl.oz.) The Gloss Clear comes with Activator (0.5 fl.oz.) and thinner (0.5 fl.oz.) Ratio 4:1:1 The Flat Clear comes with Activator (0.5 fl.oz.) Ratio 5:1 On top of all of this, a dozen pipettes were included free of charge! At this point, I am a very satisfied customer with the service that I received on this order.
