Just a heads up that not all PearlEx mica colors will withstand the heat of a fusing.
Here are some that I’ve tested with success:
- Antique Copper (reddish copper)
- Blue Russet (looks pretty much like Russet when fired)
- Flamingo Pink (doesn’t stay hot pink – but fires simillar to Bullseyes Gold Purple color)
- Relex Violet (stunning)
- Duo Green/Yellow (ends up greenish gold)
- True Blue (also stunning)
- Duo Red/Blue (fires to a nice slivery blue)
- Interference Gold (go with a cheaper non-PearlEx gold)
- Spring Green (not at all like Bullseye Spring green – fires to an emerald color)
- Bright Yellow (yellowish gold)
- Turquoise (shifts ever-so-slightly between light blue and pale purple once fired)
- Supper Copper (go with cheaper non-PearlEx copper)
- Macro Pearl (speckled silver – tends to clog airbrush)
- Antique Silver (dullish gray/silver)
As with anything like this – your mileage may vary
