Frequently Asked Question
Q: Can I add pearlescent MICA powders to my latex house paint to get a Pearlescent or metallic paint look?
A: Latex house paints typically contain a white pigment called Titanium Dioxide or Tio2. Tio2 is one of the major factors which give paint its coverage or opacity and also contributes to UV stability. However, Tio2 will dramatically reduce the pearlescent appearence or reflection of the MICA pigment and therefore we typically do not recommend it be added to house paint. A better approach would be a metallic glaze. A "how to" on metallic glazing is available on the Metallic Glaze catagory page as well as Ted Heath's faux finishing video. Blue Pearl metallic Glazes are very reflective and pearlescent/metallic. If less metallic appearence is desired, you may mix a metallic glaze with the Blue Pearl Wall Medium to soften or dilute the metallic effect.
