Pearl Paints

I remember seeing pearl powders available in a catalogue somewhere, I was just wondering where I would be able to obtain these, as I haven’t seen them in hobby shops. Also, are they suitable to be mixed with Tamiya acrylics? What is the best way to apply these? Thanks for listening yet again [:D]

If you want a great range of pearl and other colors, especially ones great for airbrushing on cars try fingernail polish. I use it a bunch on cars and R/C car bodies to get unique colors. Thin it with spirits and shoot it. It is great to take a model to the hobby shop and have all the guys scratching their heads looking on the paint racks for your color.[:D]

Thanks heaps, just use white spirits?? Also, what do I have to prime it with?
