Q: Can mica powder be added to this product? Or colorants

4 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi Neighbor- Yes, you can add colorants and mica powder to KBS DiamondFinish 1K Clear to create custom metallic, pearlescent, or color-shifting effects, but it's crucial to mix it gently into the clear coat rather than shaking vigorously to prevent clumping and ensure even dispersion, often adding to a tinted base or clear topcoat for best results.

I use this product as a clear coat on my custom painted fishing lures. Works great. I use it as a dip. Coats the lures with a clear thin coat that protects the lure from any harm.
