This 25-gram bag of Gunmetal Black Metallic Paint Pigment – Candy Pearl powder is an excellent option for creating custom tinted clears in paint or powder-coating applications. This pigment is guaranteed to mix well with any clear paints or tinted candy paints and has a temperature threshold of approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a very fine powder and will spray smoothly with airbrushes, powder guns, and HVLP paint guns. The light consistency ensures that it stays suspended in your paint without settling too fast, allowing you to create light to heavy effects. One 25-gram bag of our Gunmetal Black Metallic Paint Pigment – Candy Pearl® treats 1 to 2 quarts of clear. As you can see in the picture, it has very subtle multi-colored reflections. This versatile powder can also be used in powder coating, gel coat, screen printing, airbrush art, leather finishing, or even in concrete and tile sealer to create a unique countertop finish. It is also great for creating faux finishes! At Pearls and Pigment, we take pride in the quality of our Gunmetal Black Metallic Paint Pigment – Candy Pearl pigments. They’re made with high-quality metallic Iron Mica colored pigments that have built-in iridescence. While they aren’t completely transparent, because they are solid particles of mica and iron, you can still achieve a good degree of transparency from our candy pigments. Remember that you’ll achieve full coverage after several coats which will hide whatever is underneath. We recommend using about ½ of one of our bags per quart of base clear or intercoat clear. Using a full bag per quart would create a more opaque colored metallic pearl paint. You can also mix our candy paint pearls with different ghost pearl paint pigments to create your own chameleon paint pigments, often done using a 3 to 1 ghost to candy paint ratio, sprayed over approximately 5 coats. Please know that this is not something for beginners to attempt, rather it’s better suited to a more experienced and skilled professional with the common sense to spray out test panels before painting an entire project. As we’ve said in other articles on this site, there are literally millions of possibilities you can achieve in the custom paint realm by mixing and matching our products. For an opaque metallic paint effect, we recommend using 1 bag per quart of sprayable clear. For a more translucent candy-type paint, mix 1 bag to 2 quarts of sprayable clear. These are all starting ratios and can be adjusted as needed for your particular application. If you have any questions, please contact us or visit our FAQs page.
