Application of 2-coat pearl and 2-coat pearl metallic is similar to that of other 2-coat metallic paints. However, repairs on 3-coat pearl require special
technique and experience since color matching is much more critical. Also, when spot or partial repairing is required, the full panel or "Zone" must be
repainted (see drawing).

Two types of mica are available, white and colored. They should be used properly to fit the base color.

Pearl mica has complex reflection characteristics without hiding power. This produces minute changes in color tone and luster as the painted
surface is viewed at different angles or under different lighting conditions. When matching color during repair, you should carefully observe the
paint color under direct sunlight (at a distance of 3 to 7 feet), from every direction.
