💎 Candy & pearl coats

Advanced

Translucent candy or pearl colours over a bright base give deep, colour-shifting finishes.

🖌️ How it's done

Lay a metallic silver or white base first, then build the candy/pearl in several light passes on the inside — depth comes from layers, not one heavy coat. Back with silver or white to keep it luminous. Test your layering on scrap Lexan first.
