PW
I can understand it just might be a bit difficult to match if the painter is not up to speed.
My understanding (as explained to me by a guy at one of our best local paint shops) is there is the initial base coat for PW and the 'pearl' is in the subsequent clearcoat(s). You MUST get the base coat right. Then you hold a 'template' (kinda like a color chip with 8 increasing levels of pearl on it) up against the surrounding paint to determine just how many coats of the pearl/clear are required to get the match right. One coat is lighter, more coats darker, more pearl, hence a thicker layer of clear. If you miss the base coat you're dead. No amount off the clear/pearl will fix a mis-matched base coat.
Someone else is welcome to correct whether what I was told is wrong or right. I won't take any offense. I'm just passing on what I was told.
It was just how it was explained to me by someone who ought to know what he was doing. He's been at it forever. He grew up in his dad's paintshop and now runs it himself.
Double sided tape???? Really? What a joke.
