Hey peeps, Ive got a question about this paint. I'm painting my 02 gsxr a base coat of pearl white but I'm not happy with the paint. It has a yellow tinge to it. Ive got some base white in stock and was wondering if i were to cut the pearl white with the regular white say 70% pearl 30% white would it whiten up the mixture? Also would I get the same effect from the pearl? I'm shooting epoxy primer white. I guess i wanna tweak it a bit and see if i can get the paint more white. Just wondering if anybody has done this before.

Thx Todd

the idea of pearl white is that it is off white i.e. has a goldish tint to it (it has a rainbow type metal flake floating in it, so it relects several colours back at you, giving the off white). Try metalic white instead, that might give the brighter white you're after, without messing with the mix
