Blue Pearl

[AirArt]

In the samples section, most of the blue pearl over black base say simply that, "blue pearl," but there are different shades of blue.
I was curious which brand and shade of blue most of the jobs are done with.
I'm an avid HOK user but I know others like and use PPG just as well.
Any particular shade of blue that is used most often?
Thanks,

PPG's Deltron line only has one blue pearl.Scott's using the Global line but I don't know if he uses their pearls or HOK's.I think they're also wet pearls but not sure.

HOK offers both wet and dry pearls, their wet pearls being way too strong in my oppinion you really have to cut them down quite a bit, i mix them with SG100 same with the dry pearls but the dry pearls can be controiled a little easier. on black and other darker bases a little pearl is better /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yay.gif

Oops,should have been a little more specific.Deltron pearls are dry and I THINK Global's are wet.Could be wrong though,was once before (X 1000) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

Thanks Rex,
I couldn't understand why there was no more of a description but now I know PPG makes only one blue pearl.

Thanks EZ,
I'm going to order some Lazuli blue dry and also the Majik Blue pearl and cut it with intercoat clear. But I'll probably use the dry pearl as it's much easier to control the opacity.
Thanks,

Phil, sorry i ment the Majic blue pearl is a Pearl base coat not a pearl additive like the dry pearls /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/foreheadslap.gif but it gives the same effect as the sample you refured to.
