Ok so was farting around the internet today, and came across the paint with pearl web site. I was wondering if anyone has added something like the orange copper candy over the top of black, and how it looks? I tried a few searches that didn't pull up much info. They say the powder can also be added to powder coating. I couldn't find a picture, but the idea in my head of a black bike with a copper hue looks good. I would like to see if anyone has done it though so I can decide if that's a route I want to go down when I finally get back to my bike.

 

I've used quite a few products from Paint with Pearl. Good stuff at good prices. I haven't put any copper color over black but I'm thinking you might end up with kind of a brown color.

 

I had a fella that wanted gold pearl mixed with the Vivid black and it was black when looking straight on but at a distance it turned to a brownish color

I mixed the pearl in the basecoat with a basecoat clear added (I use PPG)
I sent all sprayouts to the buyer so I don't have any to show you but it did sparkle in the sun

 

Thanks for the replies. I saw a snare drum that had a copper and black kinda wrinkled (can't think of how to describe it) look to it. I'm just tossing around a few idea's and getting feedback.

 

i built a bike a while back in all candy orange copper... was a bitch to shoot and needed a heavy silver base coat... but came out pretty sick, to make it pop i accented it with flat black... if it helps here are some pics of that color

 

Thanks JRK, I gotta say I like the burnt orange look. Now you got me thinking of going that route with the fatboy wheel I just bought. I just gotta wait until I get back to the states, and get my bike to my next duty station to pull off other parts I want powdered so I can do it in 1 shot. I'll be keeping you in mind when I'm ready to powder.
