The pearl flakes are mixed with clear coat or clear base. It is possible to spray them in multiple layers. A longer flash-off time is needed between each layer. A color in the same shade is usually used as the base for the pearl flakes, but this is not a rule. You can view the photo gallery here.

Preparation and Spraying Process:

The process of applying chameleon pearl flakes involves mixing them with a clear base and then applying this mixture onto the 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 pearl flake). After the desired coverage is achieved 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 a consistent spraying technique are essential for a successful and even application.

1. Surface Preparation:

• Sand the primer/base coat: For a new application, first apply a primer or base color. If you are spraying on a previously painted surface, sand it with 240 grit sandpaper to ensure the new layer with the pearl flakes 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 Pearl:

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

3. Spraying the Pearl Flake Layer:

• Use the correct equipment: A spray gun with an appropriate nozzle size is needed (0.8 – 1.7 mm depending on the pearl flake size).
• Apply in layers: Before the first spray, we recommend doing a test spray. For direct application, apply thin, evenly overlapping layers. The first layer may only provide partial coverage. Apply 3 to 7 layers, depending on the desired final effect. Adhere to the flash-off times between layers as per the instructions in the technical data sheet.
• Shake the gun while spraying: Regularly shake the spray gun or the paint container to prevent the pearl flakes from settling at the bottom.
• Complete the finish: Continue applying layers until you achieve the desired coverage and effect. This creates the depth and gloss of the final finish.

4. Finishing the Process:

• Allow the paint to dry: Let the paint dry for a sufficient amount of time.
• Apply the final clear coat: Once the pearl flakes have dried to the required level for clear coat application, apply one or more clear coats to protect against wear and enhance the shine.

Tips and Maintenance:

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

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

• Spraying: Never allow the paint with the pearl flakes to 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 pearl flakes must not be wet, but must be dried and very tacky to allow for the next layer to be applied.
