Mission Model Pearls and Iridescent FAQ

What are Mission Model Pearls and Iridescent paints?

These are specialty acrylic paints that contain pearlescent or iridescent pigments, creating luminous, color-shifting effects that vary with lighting and viewing angle.

Can I apply these paints over any base color?

Yes, but for best results, use them over a smooth, uniform base coat. Starting with a primer from Mission Model Paint Primers helps ensure adhesion and an even finish.

Do I need to clear coat after applying pearlescent or iridescent paints?

Clear coating is recommended. A protective finish from the Mission Model Paint Clear Coats collection locks in the effect and helps increase durability.

Are these suitable for automotive and sci-fi modeling?

Absolutely. Pearlescent and iridescent effects are ideal for custom automotive finishes, sci-fi miniatures, and display pieces that benefit from visual impact and dynamic surfaces. They also pair well with Gaming, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi themed models.
