Description 4300 Series Pearlescent, Metallic & Iridescent Colors Pearlescent, Metallic and Iridescent Colors are pearl base coats. For graphics and base coat application, they’re best applied as a mid-coat over a color-keyed AutoBorne Sealer base. Auto Air Pearlescent, Metallic and Iridescent Colors lay down flat with an even pearlescent orientation when applied over a color-keyed base color as opposed to a white or black base. Using minimal amounts of pearlescent is key to achieving an even pearlescent finish. It is also important to allow for adequate drying time in between coats of Pearlescent & Metallic Colors so that each coat lays down in an even pattern. Color-keying the Pearlescent Colors with the underlying base color saves not only material, but allows for quicker drying times and an even orientation in the finish. Related
