Thanks for the reply Footstomper, being so new to painting I was hoping to avoid complicating the mix and have a formula that a paint store can accurately reproduce. The color test funds may dry up soon or maybe my wifes patience. So am I right about what I'm understanding about pearls vs metallics? Pearls having the overcast effect where metallics add depth?
On your suggestion to tweak the white, I think that using the White Diamond as the base maybe too light if I am going to add a small amount of tint to the clear coat . Ive added photos that show the base dabbed on and the tinted clear and the tint does as the term implies I guess and darken the white to get the contrast Im after. If I use a little tint in the clear Im thinking it will end up too light against the white.
Anyone ever seen a metallic cream color that might work for this 2 tone Im after?
