MHS Sink Tube Sleeve

[naashar]

Speaking of painting sleeves, does anyone have any pointers to approximate the paint on the hilts found at the following: www.advanced-light.com ?

Any help would be appreciated...

You don't need to see any identification.

Just a guess but it could be truck bed liner spray to get the texture and then spray other colors over it and seal it with a clear coat.

The color you are refering to is called pearl or true pearl pearl has 2 colors it's the cheap spray can stuff true pearl can change into several colors and is horidly expensive and then there is also transparent pearl for spraying on clear plastic so it changes colors and you can see through it I don't know much about that one.

I know about ChromaLusion but I have never heard of pearl.

But of course, I suck and if I want something painted to actually look good I just call Tet.

That particular paint is not pearl. It is actually microscopic prisms in the paint that, well, work like prisms… They bend the light and produce a rainbow effect. To be even more technical about it, these paints do not have their own color! What you see is the light bouncing back out of all the prisms. Unlike regular paint that “filters” the light you see.

Pearls themselves are a not-so-sophisticated prism that is designed to change the Hue of the paint (the color you see from an angle vs. head on). And no, there is only one color to pearl. The other color you see is the Base Color showing through the pearl Top Coat, giving the illusion of multi colored paint.

Now you could get all technical and say you can put pearl in the Base Coat, but it’s essentially a cheaper way to try and get the same results. Not to say that those colors aren’t spectacular, but they are muted.
