It took 4 coats to achieve the same look.I do think the dark sealer brings out the pearl shift better

I put a light behind them after 4 coats and the white sealer shape was still transparent.the dark sealer was not.Here is a pic of the white sealer backlit

I am mixing 60/40 black and white epoxy 1:1:.50 to get the proper undercoat.So I am going to base, clear the car blue first then block with 400 and do the stripes like I always have done.Its just safer in the long run.Shooting base tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.Thanks
