liveforthethump Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 My son is Smoking the bass on this color! I have been trying the pearl powders, shine paragons and failing on ending up with a dulled down transparent pearl effect. All my efforts have ended up with a much brighter color (but still semi-transparent). This is great for water with a little color in it, but I need that dulled effect. Thanks in advance for frustrated Dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I'm a HUGE fan of Megabass swimbaits, especially the Spark Shad. Their albino is a difficult one, but I think I would start with just a touch of pearl. LC makes a color called minnow silver. I'd start with one part pearl and 3 parts minnow silver, then add a touch of violet or purple hi-lite powder. There is no doubt a hi-lite powder in that color. It's the base color that bothers me because you can't really do much in the way of changing a dominant color like pearl. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveforthethump Posted March 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 The dominate color is certainly the hard one. Holding it up to the light, it has a green hue in the center of the bait and not bleeding to the outside. Can't figure out how that was done, but really looks great! Have the Spark Shad in all sizes in the boat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Your not going to get an exact match as there is no supplier that sells that exact colorant. It is a specialized form of Hi-Lite Red Pearl. If you use the regular Hi-Lite Red Pearl that will get pretty close however it wont have that greenish undertone.

Driftwood Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 You could go to a local boat or auto repair shop and see about getting some pearl micea they use in their paint. I know the Toyota pearl white is color code 051 and it will get you real close to that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liveforthethump Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Thanks guys. Made notes of all options. I do hope the fish don't care, I have multiple tries poured and in the boat. I have some Solar Color Dust - chameleon in Gold/Blue/Violet that looks good. Probably look at their other pigments to get a little closer.

Les Young Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Would a drop of white in the clear plastic with the hi lite added not get extremely close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
