Gold Phantom Pearl Shapes painted over both black and white base coats.

Using “Phantom Pearls” Pigment to Create a Pearlescent Hue over other colors.

Our Phantom Pearls are made of tiny transparent mica particles micro-encapsulated in titanium dioxide. They provide a solid color over black, and an iridescent reflection or pearlescent hue, over other colors. When looked at under a microscope, these Phantom Pearls are actually transparent. This allowing people to see through the particles to the colors underneath. When a Black base is used, people can only see the reflecting colors, hence making a midnight pearlescent hue effect.
Using our Ghost pearls pigments in your  paint, you can achieve brilliant graphics and irridescent color-changing effects.  Do this on both light and dark base coats! Just one bag of ghost pearls can treat more than an entire gallon of clear coat. Also used in any clear paint, gelcoat, and powder coat. Use in your faux finish glaze inside your home, or in concrete and tile sealer for the perfect floor or concrete counter top!

Our Pearl powders vary in particle size. They are extremely durable for use in your clear coat. Also works in powder coating.  They have an incredible variety of other uses, ranging from pottery glaze, home faux finishes, screen printing, and plastics manufacturing. What makes pearls so versatile and durable?  Our pearls are tiny particles of mica (a very shiny mineral particle) that are micro-encapsulated in a shell of titanium oxide. Different thicknesses of this titanium oxide shell reflect light differently, giving a color-change appearence. There are no color pigments to fade! Will withstand temperatures up to 1600 degrees fahrenheit (900 C). Your base coat is still visible, but it will reflect differently when it is hit by direct light. This giving a light reactive effect to your custom pearl paint or powder-coat. Ghost pearls look completely different sprayed over varying color base coats. They can accent a white, green, or red. They will create brilliant “midnight” color effects sprayed over black. For instance, if you wanted a brilliant midnight blue color, use our Blue Hue Phantom Pearl sprayed over black.
