Re: pearl essent and paint cracking question
The paint keeps cracking because the paint below has dried too long, and you're laying the paint on top too thick. I've had that problem when painting guitars, and doing 16+ coats. So you may be laying all your coats too thick.micromatch wrote:i was diggin through sum stuff when out of no where i see a lil pink glass bottle..then i open up the top to find nouthing but...pearl essent! i was like yes! i almost wanted to cry it was so beutiful but right now im paintint a skyline this green color but the paint keeps cracking how odo i fix that? and also..will the pearl essent work on bit bodys?..its just so beutiful
Is that Pearl stuff powder? If so then you'd just mix it with your paint, preferably the clear top coat, and apply with an airbrush.
If it's liquid it may interact with your paint, find out if it's laquer, enamel, or other base.
