Pitbull Baits Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I was wondering if these pearls can be used in plastics. The reason we love this...pearl effects on custom paint. Great for clear coats or powder coat clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96dak Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 id shoot them an email and ask if they will withstand 350-400 degree temps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) It says right on the page that it withstands up to 1600 F. I'd say no problem, lol. It's kind of pricey though. If my math is correct 25 grams is not even an ounce. www.novalures.com Edited February 28, 2009 by nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I use a bunch of different powders when making my tubes.These were the same powders I used to paint duck decoys,fish,and birds.All worked great.You can get a small kit of assorted powders or individual small containers.I got mine from Sugarpine out of Oregon.I agree that the source you mentioned is very pricey,but it would work.Check out woodcarving suppliers,and Dick Blick art store be fore purchase.I never had any of the powders cause any problems,and always got great results.

Delw Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Automotive pearls powders work very well however they are extreamly expensive I believe about 500 time the cost. but they do have colors that no one else has or can get. House of colors ( brand name) is most common at any automotive paint shop. forgot to add, becareful with there glitters they don't work well with hot plastic, they are made to suspend in light liquids so they pretty much melt in hot plastic.

Pitbull Baits Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for the info. I think I am going to try a few diffrent powders down the road. I didn't want to put something toxic in the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
