Pearl paint question

I'm looking into using pearl paint to add a special effect to a paint job. But there is something that has me all confused. Some pearl jobs I see look like they add a lot of flake to them and some just seem like they bring the paint to live in the sun but with no flake.

My question is how do I achieve this effect:

Instead of getting a lot of flake like this:

There is no flake in the above paint jobs it's just Ice White pearl...
Thanks :goodbye:

ice white pearl sprayed over what? pearl is shot over a base color and if theres a flake in the base color, it will show through.

White ice pearl over white, this was like 1 1oz bottle on the roof only.

Are you saying that if the base doesn't have any flake... pearl will not add any flake to it. I always thought a base coat with pearl on top looks sort of like it has some mini flake on it. May doing something wrong but even in the jar it has a lot of mini flake to it:

HOK ice pearls have flake in them.
ICE PEARLS[SUP][/SUP] (IP)
Ice Pearls glass flake pigments go beyond what traditional pearls offer in vibrance, brilliance, and sparkle–especially under sunlight conditions. Ice Pearls[SUP][/SUP] can be used with any of our SHIMRIN[SUP]®[/SUP] bases, Kandys, Klears, or Kustom bases to give a brilliant glitter effect

thats why its caled ICE pearl.

What about their new Kosmic Spark Pearl Series. Do they have flake as well?
