    You pay some one who is good at spraying to do it!

    you need a good compressor and paint gun to do a full respray. not to mention a high level of skill.

    might be worth taking it to a professional.

    From the add it sounds like you add it to the clear coat in much the same way the large metal flakes got mixd in a few years back.

    I have a large compressor, all sorts of spray guns and breathing set up but i wouldnt spray a complete car.
    To be honest chap, if you have to ask how something is added to the paint i dont think you have the skills or knowledge to spray a car to a decent standerd

    I was looking at that car too today on Donedeal... You would be better paying an atra 500 for a mint car.

    these bags of pearl are added to a clear coat (lacquer) and sprayed that way, if your doing it yourself mate make sure the gun your using is super clean and has a nice open free flowing fan and it sprays the same amount on the top and bottom of the fan, if it sprays heavier on 1 side buy a new gun or dont do it at all

    not just adjust the fan?

    well not really mate, if its spraying uneven, and its lets say an 8inch fan,4 inches will be heavier than the other 4 inches, so as its laid it will be patchy and uneven

    Thread is full of fail.

    The pearl that comes in powder form is made to be mixed with a clear base coat / inter coat clear. Basically just a binder with no pigment at all. If you mix this pearl with a laqure then the piGment will come out of the powder because of the thinners in the clear coat and you will be left with a big mess.

    As for the spray gun you will be fine with anything from a 1.3 to a 1.6 needle on a very low pressure and just mist it on from the front of the car to the back of the car (NOT INDIVIDUAL PANNELS) or it will be patchy as hell around the shut lines.

    you will need a good 4 to 5 coats of clear coat over the top to seal it all and get rid of the sandy texture that the pearl powder gives.

    good luck as you will deffo need it i have used powdered pear a number of times and it likes to bite you in the arse. just remember you can always put more on but you cant take it off.
