Thanks for the replies guys, I’m going to be having a play around with the color at the weekend on a bonnet I have lying around. Would you guys do a drop coat on the pearl maybe by mixing it with a base clear off the scheme to help settle the pearl down nicely before lacquering or don’t you really think it would be necessary on pearl white, would I be right in thinking pearl white is less of a worry unlike silver where blotching and shadowing is a concern?
