If you can spray with a 50% overlap, then you will have no problems with tiger stripes. Very nice and the most easy to spray because of it being so fine. That’s the kind that you want to use if you want a micro flake look. Micro sequence is a very fine metal flake. Metal flake can be a topic on it’s own but for now I’ll just briefly touch on what size metal flake to use in your first coat of clear or in a intercoat layer. Micro Sequence Metal Flake VS Standard and Jumbo Metal Flake It’s a big file so it may take a bit to download. Here’s a tech sheet download for House of Kolor products. What’s more, the amount of pearl that you add to your clear coat and the numbers of clear or intercoat layers that you spray over your base coat will also affect your color and turn your pearl coat darker and totally change the color of your paint job. Spraying a blue pearl over a white base also looks awesome. Example, spraying a red pearl over a black will give you a deep plum purple look. TIP: I would start spraying pearls over solid colors like black or white just to see what it will do to your paint. My suggestion, pick up a few bottles and hit the garage painting.

If you feel that you want some additional coverage, feel free to add 1-2 or even three coats of clear over that. You can also safely color sand and buff out pearl or flake coats that don’t have additional clear over them. I have also sprayed pearl in clear without an additional top coat of clear with amazing results.
If you have the hang of spraying, adding pearl to your mid clear coat followed by some plain clear as a last coat is a great way to go. It will help you lay it on easier and evenly. New base, intercoat with pearl, clear top coat. If you do, you’ll have a pearl or flake run that will not buff out. You’ll end up sanding everything down and restarting the process over. So if you’re not good with spraying clear coat yet or just not comfortable and afraid of runs, then I don’t recommend you using pearl or flake in your clear coat. This “wanting to get a wet look” will sorta make you want to lay it on heavy at times which can result in sags and runs immediately and anywhere from 1 min – 10 min after laying your clear (sags show up a little later) so be careful. When spraying clear coat, you want to make it glossy and have that wet look. You’ll need to let it dry, sand your panels down, shoot new base coat and do it all over again. If you’re not used to spraying and have problems with gun flow and distance, you run the risk of running your clear coat with your pearl or flakes in it. On the other hand, with clear coats… when you’re spraying you’re not looking for coverage, your looking for gloss. Then coat it with your pearl intercoat followed by a solid 2-3 coats of clear. If you run your intercoat, you’ll just have to respray your base coat. When spraying base, you’re basically looking for coverage. It’s a lot tougher to run base coat than clear coat. Think of it as a clear base coat… you have more room for error. With an intercoat it’s a little different. Newbies: If you’re a beginner, you may want to use an intercoat like DBC or DBU 500 by PPG or one of House of Kolor products like the SG150 intercoat pearl and flake Karrier. There are a few reasons why you may want spray one way VS the other.
