Hopefully someone can help shed some light on this for me...
I have received several samples of high-grade pearls and Eckhert fine bright aluminum powder (yes I know it can be dangerous, I've been warned) for use in automotive paints. I am planning to start testing them in a few experimental screen paint blends. However, for sake of consistency it would be easier if I can first add the powders into a clear medium (Valspar Clear protector is what Harpmaker said he likes, any other suggestions are welcomed).
So my question is...
Is there any typical ratio of powdered reflectives to fluid carrier, that is used in the craft paints?
I would guess 1/3 to 1/4 quarter of the fluid volume is composed of solids... but obviously that is clearly a guess. Does anyone have any solid info that might help clarify this? Past experience perhaps?
