Jacquard Pearl Ex Pigment Set 12 Colors F-JAC0612

Jacquard Pearl Ex Pigment Set 12 Colors — Powdered Mica Pigments for Resin, Clay, Paint, and Craft

Jacquard Pearl Ex Pigment Set 12 Colors (SKU F-JAC0612) is a versatile powdered mica pigment starter set made for artists, modelers, resin creators, clay artists, custom painters, and mixed-media makers who want pearlescent, metallic, and color-shift effects in one compact set.

This Series 1 set includes twelve 0.11 oz (3 g) jars of dry Pearl Ex pigments that can be mixed into many clear or compatible mediums, including resin, varnish, acrylic mediums, clay, inks, glazes, and other craft applications. Unlike traditional metallic powders that may tarnish, these pigments are designed to create brilliant shimmer, pearl, metallic, and interference effects without rusting or oxidizing.

Because Jacquard Pearl Ex Pigment Set 12 Colors is not a pre-mixed paint, it gives artists more control over how strong or subtle the final effect becomes. Use a tiny amount for a soft pearlescent glow, or build a stronger mixture when you want a more dramatic metallic finish in resin art, polymer clay, custom airbrush work, model detailing, craft projects, and decorative surfaces.

Technical Specifications & Application

How to Use Pearl Ex Pigments

1. Choose the right medium: Pearl Ex pigments need to be mixed with a binder or compatible medium for permanent adhesion. They are pigments, not finished paint by themselves.
2. Start with a small amount: These powdered pigments are concentrated. Add a little pigment first, mix thoroughly, then increase the amount only if you need stronger shimmer or color.
3. Test before final use: Always test the pigment mixture on a sample surface before applying it to your finished resin, clay, model, sneaker, craft, or art project.
4. Use dark bases for interference colors: Interference Violet and Interference Gold create stronger color-shift effects over dark or black base colors.
5. Seal when needed: For dry-brushed or surface-applied effects, seal the finished work with a compatible clear coat or varnish after testing.
6. Clean tools after mixing: Wipe brushes, mixing sticks, cups, and airbrush tools before the binder or medium dries.

SprayGunner Pro Tips

• For resin work: Add pigment slowly. Too much powder can make resin cloudy or change how the final pour looks.
• For airbrush effects: Do not spray dry pigment by itself. Mix it into a compatible airbrush-ready clear medium, strain if needed, and test flow before spraying.
• For stronger metallic finishes: Use Brilliant Gold, Sparkle Gold, Silver, Super Bronze, Super Copper, or Sunset Gold over a dark base for more contrast.
• For color-shift effects: Try Interference Violet, Interference Gold, or Duo Red-Blue over black or deep colors to make the shift more visible.
• For clay projects: Pearl Ex can be brushed onto polymer clay surfaces before curing or mixed into compatible clay finishes, depending on the technique.
