I used PPG DMD 1683 Black (100g) 649 Clear (50g) PRLX 1 Pearl (1g) Then used the DMD 4000 Clear over the color. Using the 100 grams of black, 50 grams of 649 clear, and 1 gram of the red pearl is an easy ratio to add or subtract depending on how much sprayable material you want.
Something I've come to realize while trying to recreate this effect is that there is a good chance the camera is polarizing the light and in actuality the pearl doesn't have the same narrow viewing angle as it appears to here.
How much pearl per amount of clear coat. Or do you add it to the paint. If it's in the clear how many coats. Lay it wet or like a base. And if so. the last coats of clear is it without pearl. It's a great color. Without the price of those candy. And it looks beutifull.
Awesome. This is actually what I am looking for my beloved Seat Toledo 20VT :) I just want a subtle golden/bronze reflection when the sun hits the car but overall I want a deep black car. Not chamaleonic paint you know. So I think I will tell my painter to use PPG black base paint and mix 0.5% bronze pearls with the clear coat. What do you think? I mean if they use 2kg black paint then use 10 grams of pearls (200 lesser amount)
I'd say just mix tiny amounts of both and spray a sample to look at it out in the sunlight or with a sun gun. When I did this one I learned its super easy to over do it with pearls. I cut my formula by 75% to get this look.
Absolutely beautiful! Im in love with it. Im having my 06 crossfire painted and i used you vid to show him how i wanted the paint. If you have any tips could you please reply as i have sent him a link to this vid
I actually made this color while I was going to school for paint and refinishing so at the time I was a rookie hahahaha. As far as tips, the person you will or have taken it to will know way more than I do.
Hi I have a questions when i paint black base with red perl and I will paint each element separately on a stand, not the side of the car together.? Will it come out the same color?
Thanks for the comment... I used all PPG materials, 100 grams of 1683 black 50 grams of 649 clear 1 gram of PRLX1 (red pearl) Then shot Deltron DC 4000 clear over the color. That's how I custom made this color so it was an easy formula to add or subtract depending on how much you need mixed. You can play with the amount of pearl to change how much it flops in the sunlight.
@@MrDrEwEvAnS I don't understand how you did this... So for the base did you just add black toner, pearl and clear together with no reducer or hardener?
@@brad-zf9oh I just added the red pearl into the black basecoat. Then cleared over it like a normal basecoat, clearcoat paint job. The layers of clear will effect the look. This car i used 2 coats of clear.
A little late on reading the comments on here. Thank you for the comment. I was in school for collision repair when I made the color for my 15 yr old daughter's first car.
It was a long time ago but the formula is in the comments. There isn't a paint code cause it was a color I made while practicing with different pearls I added to my black basecoat.
If its a complete color change it could be upwards of $5-8,000. If you had a black vehicle it would be a little less if they don't have to paint door jambs, engine bay, inside the trunk ect.
Can you tell me which pearls were used? I’m looking to paint my K5 Blazer Black cherry but too many seem to take on too much of a purple hue in the light and it seems this one stays red.
I'm curious about how this has held up! A buddy says not to bother trying to pop a perl clearcoat on a daily driver, but this is almost exactly what I wanna do. Red over black base.
I added the pearl to the basecoat on this one. If you add pearl to the clear you will want to go over it with minimum of 2 coats of normal clear. The UV rays will break it down if you don't, unfortunately I sold that car a year after I painted it.
First of all, AWESOME job and nice color!! Second, can you, please, tell me what to do to get this exact color? I dont know anyone in my country which does this kind of job, so i will buy all the stuff and pay someone just to spray the paint on my dad's car. What i know until now is: Black primer > black ink> clear coat > black ink with the pearl > clar coat + pearl > clear coat. Is that right? Can you also tell me the brands and names of the materials that you have used? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, I used PPG's DMD black paint and mixed some PPG's red pearl. I would have to look for the formula (mix ratio) that i used. You can add a different amount to get more or less of the color change. Then used PPG clearcoat.
This is the exact pearl color I was trying to explain to my painter
😂😂😂😂
I used PPG DMD 1683 Black (100g)
649 Clear (50g)
PRLX 1 Pearl (1g)
Then used the DMD 4000 Clear over the color.
Using the 100 grams of black, 50 grams of 649 clear, and 1 gram of the red pearl is an easy ratio to add or subtract depending on how much sprayable material you want.
So, did you reduce the black at 1:1 then add the 649 w/o reducing or activating? Thanks
@@johnb2140 now im really confused lol. Any exact tutorial for dummies on how to do this.
Did you add the pearl to the clear coat or base coat?
@@350sdemon to the base coat. When added to the clear it didn't flop, just stayed one color.
@@MrDrEwEvAnS ok thank thank you. Looks awesome.i want something like this on my 63 Impala.
wow thats look amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What’s paint code this color??? But it’s beautiful color 👍
this paint is just amazing 😍💪....fell in love!
where can i buy this paint ready to spray?
Thanks for the answer!

@@MrDrEwEvAnS wow so...
1,000 grams of 1683 black
500 grams of 649 clear
2 grams of PRLX (pearls)
@@dani390z yeah, I forget how much spary-able (after reducing) it makes. But it was the easiest way to break down the mixing ratio.
Can i use any black base coat and just add PRLX 1 pearl to it? Im new to painting
Awesome 👍
how many oz. u add to the paint and how many quarts u use to paint it bro
What’s the ratio mixing to get that toner with pearl to make I have all this mixing station giving to me
Hi I have a questions when i paint black base with red perl and I will paint each element separately on a stand, not the side of the car together.? Will it come out the same color?
Absolutely beautiful. Btw, how many red pearl/flakes per gallon/liter u use? Mix black base + clear + flakes together then top cleae or intercoat?
Thanks for the comment...

100 grams of 1683 black

@@MrDrEwEvAnS used 1 gram of Pearl?? How much coverage can you get out of that? Like a hood? 2 fenders? Just a bumber??
Please which base do you use? the pearly blend should be transparent?
Any pics or video of it outside?
The mixing u used for base coat right?and for the under coat,what color u used?
I added the pearl to the PPG DMD 1683 Black
Nice man! What does a paint job like this cost
If its a complete color change it could be upwards of $5-8,000. If you had a black vehicle it would be a little less if they don't have to paint door jambs, engine bay, inside the trunk ect.
@@MrDrEwEvAnS yeah my vehicle is already black
How much did it cost to paint ??

ok cool im tryin to get that affect on a dark cherry metallic from the 96 impala ss color

I put the pearl in the black toner instead of the clear.
hansford2006 how much pearl per gallon?
MrDrEwEvAnS how much pearl?
I used PPG DMD 1683 Black (100g)
649 Clear (50g)
PRLX 1 Pearl (1g)
Then used the DMD 2000 Clear over the color.
What was your formula for this paint?
I used PPG DMD 1683 Black (100g)
649 Clear (50g)
PRLX 1 Pearl (1g)
Then used the DMD 2000 Clear over the color.
How did you get this color? I want to do this but blue

did you use this all in 1 quart or 2 quarts of clear
I shot 4 coats of clear on the whole car
The pearl i added in the black basecoat not the clear.
@@MrDrEwEvAnS would you know how much red pearl to put in a gallon of black to get this
What type of red pearl did you use?
PRLX 1 PPG's Red Pearl

I used PPG's DMD black paint and mixed some PPG's red pearl. I would have to look for the formula (mix ratio) that i used. You can add a different amount to get more or less of the color change.
Then used PPG clearcoat.
Thanks a lot for the answer! Is the pearl the "Sunset red pearl" PRL90? And 6oz (one pack) is enough for this effect that you had? (for a civic)
+Rémilton Silveira i will look up all the info in the next day or two.
Wayne Evans hey, good day, did you get the info, I've been looking for this mix awhile n can't get it bro, hello me out
any mix ratio yet? please need it too in my country don't have someone to do it
looks like a root beer color
Purple plum
Ever heard of SUNLIGHT? Go get sum :p
I just finished baking the paint, this was done in the middle of the winter in Kansas City...there wasn't any sun that's why i used a 3M sun gun.
I had to give this video a thumbs down. No details about the painting process you used. Wasn't worth watching.
