What is the difference between Pearl White and Universal White?
1 Answers
The differences between Pearl White and Universal White are as follows: 1. Material: The white paint is a solid color paint, which cannot be made into metallic paint due to its natural properties and does not emit fluorescent powder under sunlight. On the other hand, Pearl White paint contains pearl powder, making it appear brighter and more premium under sunlight compared to regular paint. 2. Cost: Pearl powder is much more expensive than regular paint, and combined with the manufacturing process, it generally costs more than white car paint. Below is some relevant information: 1. Mica: Pearl White is created by adding a layer of pearl paint between the base coat and clear coat, with its main component being mica. Mica is a dioctahedral calcium layered silicate mineral, often found in aluminum-rich deposits, and is recognized as a standard metamorphic rock-forming mineral from low to medium-grade metamorphic rocks. 2. Touch-up effect: If Pearl White gets scratched, touch-up painting may result in color differences due to the paint's characteristics. After touch-up, it is almost impossible to align the mica particles uniformly, and even slight differences in direction and color can be easily noticed.
