Pearlescent pigments are mixed with clear coat or transparent base. They can be sprayed in multiple layers. A longer flash-off time is needed between each layer. The base color used under the pearlescent pigment is usually a color in the same shade, but this is not a rule. You can view the photo gallery here.

Preparation and Spraying Process:

The application process for chameleon pearlescent pigments involves mixing them with a clear base and then applying this mixture over a base coat. Spray in thin, even layers using a spray gun with a recommended nozzle of 0.8 – 1.7 mm (depending on the size of the pearlescent pigment). After achieving the desired coverage and the layers have cured, the surface is protected with additional layers of clear coat to create a deep, glossy, and shimmering effect. Proper surface preparation and consistent spraying technique are essential for a successful and uniform application.

1. Surface Preparation:

• Sand the base coat – substrate: For a new application, first apply a primer or base coat. If you are spraying over an already painted surface, roughen it with sandpaper with a grit of 240 so that the new layer with pearlescent pigments adheres better.
• Clean the surface: Before applying any paint, make sure the surface is clean and dust-free. Degrease it with a silicone remover.

2. Mix the Paint and Pearlescent Pigment:

• Mix the components: In a container or disposable cup, mix the pearlescent pigments with a clear base or clear coat. Follow the specific instructions in the technical data sheet for the clear base or clear coat, as the ratio of pearlescent pigments may vary.
• Add reducer or hardener: After mixing the pearlescent pigments with the clear base, add the reducer in the required ratio. After mixing with clear coat, add hardener and reducer in the required ratio to achieve the correct consistency for the spray gun.
  Ensure even distribution: Mix the mixture thoroughly to ensure the pearlescent pigments are evenly dispersed throughout the volume.

3. Spraying the Pearlescent Pigment Layer:

• Use the correct equipment: A spray gun with a suitable nozzle size (0.8 – 1.7 mm depending on the size of the pearlescent pigment) is required.
• Layer application: We recommend doing test sprays before the first application. For direct application, apply thin, evenly overlapping layers. The first layer may only provide partial coverage. Use 3 to 7 layers, depending on the desired final effect. Follow the flash-off times between layers as instructed in the technical data sheet.
• Shake the gun while spraying: Regularly shake the spray gun or paint container to prevent the pearlescent pigments from settling at the bottom.
• Complete the finish: Continue applying layers until you achieve the desired coverage and effect. This creates the depth and shine of the final finish.

4. Finishing the Process:

• Paint drying: Allow the paint to dry for a sufficient amount of time.
• Apply the final clear coat: Once the pearlescent pigments have dried to the required level for clear coat application, apply one or more clear layers of clear coat to protect against wear and enhance the gloss.

Tips and Maintenance:

• Regular mixing: Before each spraying session, mix the mixture thoroughly to prevent the pigments from settling at the bottom of the container.

• Substrate: For the best effect, use a base coat in a similar shade as the substrate.

• Spraying: Never let the paint with pearlescent pigments dry completely before applying the next layer, as it could peel off later. Follow the instructions in the technical data sheet for the clear base and clear coat and their flash-off times. The paint with pearlescent pigments must not be wet, but must be dried and very tacky so that the next layer can be applied to it.
