Duplicolor caliper paint mixed with pearl. Will it work?
Saturday, August 11, 2007 12:18 AM
I'm thinking of repainting my calipers and mixing some pearl into the can before applying. Do you think it will hold up like normal? I think it would be badass to do color matched pearl white calipers.

since I don't have an edit button... I forgot to add, "but you probably knew that already "

that stuff is pretty thick though. I'd thin it out before adding the pearl

duplicolor paint is not thick at all, its actually really thin and runny already. i dont think u should have a problem. foliatec and g2 paints are thick.

I will be using the kind that comes in the paint can with the brush, not the rattle can. I currently have the yellow Duplicolor caliper paint and it gets really thick. Maybe after what Kardain said, I might thin it out some before adding the pearl power into the paint. It should come out pretty nice. I am currently looking at the g2 white.
