    The reflective properties in pearlessence style paints show off a nice texture and thats what i want to do but a hella lot more reflective quality about it.. i guess im on my own doing some research into it. ;-p thank you all for the help. :D

    also.. it is very expensive.. the stuff i used was £25 for 300ml and then if you want the stuff i think you are thinking of, the kind of multi-colour reflective pearlescent paint.. that is like £250 a litre :eek: , also for the really reflective multi-colour pearlescent you need an airbrush to apply it.. mine was only two tone and as i say its not as reflective as it will be once i have used rubout compound and the polish :)
