Depends on what im spraying. If im doing a white car, and he wants a blue pearl, then i'll add it to the base. I've actually done quite a few cars by gradually applying pearl into my first 2 coats of clear, then none in my final coat. I don't like doing it that, but i sure can do a damn good job with no modulating of the pearl at all. I guess i just spray a good even pattern. I've seen many people try it and looks like shit because they either overlap their clear too much, or add entirely too much pearl. Most of the cars i do now, i just use Duponts Balancer(150k) and Binder (175k). Which are both transparent and are mainly used most when doing a tri coat anyway. I mix equal amounts of the 150k and 175k then add the pearl till i reach the effect i want without dramatically changing my basecoat's color. Thats how i like to do it.
