				<description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.liquitex.com/iridescentmedium/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.liquitex.com/iridescentmedium/</a><br /> <br /> Mix with any acrylic pigment to make a pearlescent effect.<br /> <br /> The particle size makes it less smooth on tiny wargame models. Like pixel size, if you will.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Yea auto paint, it isnt cheap or easy but like women, cheap and easy is never condusive to good in the end.<br /> <br /> Remember the only way to get the effect to "Pop" will be many thin layers many many thin layers.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ If you genuinely want a pearl, you're best off buying some pearl paint as mentioned.<br /> <br /> If you want something like a candy rather than a pearl, you can use Alcad and then overcoat it with a candy paint. You could try using Alcad and then coating with a metallic... not sure how that'd turn out.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Had thought that model car spray paints come in a variety of pearlescent colors, but I'm finding less of them than I remember. Looks like Terstors has discontinued many of their pearl colors.<br /> <br /> here is a lest of model sparys, but there is not hot orange:http://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/browse.php?kw=pearl<br /> <br /> Tamiya makes <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(130);'>TS</span>-45 Pearl White Spray Lacquer which could be used as a base coat for a candy orange to get the color you are looking for. They also make some pastel pearl spray paints.<br /> <br /> <br /> The hardcore alternative is automotive pearl paints which you would need to mix and spray through a spray gun or airbrush.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.kustomrides.com/killerpearls.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.kustomrides.com/killerpearls.html</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.tcpglobal.com/Customshop/kspearl.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.tcpglobal.com/Customshop/kspearl.aspx</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.shop.thecoatingstore.com/KemBase-Pearl-Color-Base-Clear-Motorcycle-Paint-Kits-PGC-MOTOBCKIT.htm?gclid=CIeSpIu_nLwCFas9QgodKiYAmQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.shop.thecoatingstore.com/KemBase-Pearl-Color-Base-Clear-Motorcycle-Paint-Kits-PGC-MOTOBCKIT.htm?gclid=CIeSpIu_nLwCFas9QgodKiYAmQ</a><br /> <br /> Another option is to buy pearl pigment and add it to a clear water based acrylic paint: <a href="http://www.paintwithpearl.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.paintwithpearl.com/</a><br /> <br /> There are a number of craft paint makers that make pearls that could be airbrushed:<br /> <br /> Look specifically at the pearls here:<br /> <a href="https://www.decoart.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=D&Category_Code=DM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.decoart.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=D&Category_Code=<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(344);'>DM</span></a><br /> <br /> Delta/Ceramcoat used to make a line of pearls (I have yellow and orange pearls), but seem to have cut the color choices to a very few: <a href="http://www.plaidonline.com/delta-ceramcoat-acrylic-paint-2-oz/158/product.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.plaidonline.com/delta-ceramcoat-acrylic-paint-2-oz/158/product.htm</a>]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Look for Pebeo paints, they do a whole range of pearlescent paints, you need a decent thinner to make them workable but have a good look when they are used properly.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ If you're looking pearlescent, I've found that using colored pearlescent ink mixed with a similar color of paint applied in thin layers works wonders, but does take a bit of experimenting to get it right. I've found the bigger surface you paint the better the effect shows up.  The ones I use are called <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(39);'>FW</span> Inks.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I've seen a really impressive iridescent line of paints at a major shop here in Tokyo. Unfortunately, I can remember the name, but I can confirm it looks good on a small scale.<br /> <br /> Based on that motorcycle part you linked, I think you could get a similar effect by mixing vallejo metallic medium with the colour of your choice.]]></description>
