Pearls, Flakes, Glow in the Dark and Heat Reactive Powders
Our collection of dry pearls and flakes ranges from silky smooth classic pearl stylings to flakes that POP for maximum bling factor.  We're confident you'll find something that fits your design vision! In general, the "bling factor" as we like to it call follows this general order:
  1. Flip Flake - Color Change Automotive Flakes
  2. Fire Flake - Brilliant Automotive Flakes
  3. PrismFx - Glass Flake Pearls
  4. Screamin' Pearl - Hot Xyrellic colors
  5. ClassicFx Pearl-  Traditional Automotive Pearls 

PrismFx is particularly well suited for those that like a lot of sparkle but don't like the "particle" look that flakes naturally display.

Our pearls and flakes are built from automotive grade materials designed for use in solvent or water systems.  We recommend mixing with our IC-101, Pearl, Flake and Powder Binder, for application.  Depending on the product you are using these can be applied using conventional spray guns to airbrush applications.  We recommend you follow our guidelines for spray tip sizes.  However, products can often be applied with tips smaller than those we recommend by opening up the fluid adjustment on your spray gun all the way.  The downside of opening up your fluid adjustment significantly is that you lose precise material control on application and as such should only be attempted by those experienced in spray application.

Packaged in convenient 25 gram or 28.4 gram bottles for easy storage and use.  Depending on the look you are after with your design vision the average sized car can be painted with 1-3 bottles of each pearl or flake product (glow in the darks require ~30 bottles for best glow and even appearance) mixed with 4 sprayable quarts of our IC-101.
