You definitely need a skilled painter when shooting pearl or it looks hideous, and the long lines and waviness of a boat are very unforgiving. Pearl also goes in and out of fashion and more expensive to do correctly so it’s a bold move. With that said, I’d do it to my boat in a heart beat if I had the means. Still classic but much more interesting and shines up nicely. I’d keep the pearl subtle and it will always be a winner.

Every color on my boat from Mitch has some type of pearl in it. Looks very uniform in all lighting conditions. Has small scratch to fix. Let you know how it turns out. Maybe a before n after. ****ing drunk pontoon boat backed into the side just a second to late for me to save. I guess saved most of damage but did get the gun before I made it to the boat. Paint was well below 30 k , second boat he painted for me. Maybe cut me a deal

Is that corebond that you used on the transom?

Thats excellent advice. Mix up a vat of paint and reducer and add the catalyst as needed. The same paint even when mixed perfectly can vary from batch to batch.
