spoopa Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 You are gonna get a lot post on this question I bet lol. I think IMO that its best to use both of them together. Lately though I have been sticking with pearls though. Not because I think that they are better but just cause its easier to do pearls, alls I do is just add some pearl to my paint and I have a nice pearl. That is just my Goodluck, Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I don't know the technical difference between the two, but I use pearl white and pearl silver for base coating when I do scale patterns on trout baits, and I use irridescent for accents at the end. To me, the irridescent paints seem to be a more solid color, while the pearls have an almost transparent quality. Of course, a lot of that has to do with how much I thin it to shoot it. But I thin most of my paints, even some transparents, so I think the two types of paint are really different. I just don't know why.
