SMS Effects Clear Pearl Pearlescent Lacquer Paint (30ml)
SMS Effects Clear Pearl (EFF04) is a specialist lacquer model paint designed to add a pearlescent sheen to an existing solid colour. Rather than replacing the underlying colour, Clear Pearl provides an additional finishing effect, giving painted surfaces a pearl-like appearance.
Part of the SMS Effects Paints range, this 30ml paint is specifically formulated for airbrushing straight from the bottle. It offers a straightforward way to introduce a pearlescent finish without changing the original choice of base colour.
Add a Pearlescent Sheen to Solid Colours
Clear Pearl can be applied over any solid colour to create a pearlescent sheen. This makes it useful when you want to retain the character of your chosen paint colour while adding a different surface appearance.
The effect is applied as an additional layer over the existing colour. This allows the solid colour beneath to remain part of the overall finish, with Clear Pearl providing the pearlescent effect on top.
Because the product is intended for use over solid colours, the same Clear Pearl paint can be used with different base colours to produce a pearl finish across a variety of painted modelling projects.
Ready for Airbrushing Straight from the Bottle
SMS Effects lacquer paints are formulated for direct airbrush application. Clear Pearl can therefore be airbrushed straight from the bottle, making it convenient to apply the pearlescent effect over your chosen solid colour.
Apply Clear Pearl over the solid-colour finish to create the desired pearlescent sheen. Once applied, the finish can be left as it is or given an additional clear coat for greater depth.
Optional PL58 Super Clear Finish
For additional depth, SMS recommends applying a further clear coat using PL58 Super Clear. This provides an optional finishing stage after the Clear Pearl application.
There are two supported finishing options:
- Clear Pearl finish: Apply over any solid colour and leave the resulting pearlescent sheen as the final finish.
- Additional clear coat: Apply SMS PL58 Super Clear over the Clear Pearl finish to give added depth.
