Pearl Finish
Pearls are used to create a high luster finish and add an extra dimension above standard colours options. Finishes vary from the very fine with exceptional hiding power and almost smooth appearance too, quite large particle size giving a scattered star type effect with minimum hiding power.
All unfilled materials
