Pearlescent Paint for 1/350 Enterprise Refit

[Spartan17]

Hi guys,
I am currently working on a Polar Lights 1/350 Enterprise Refit and am a bit hung up on what pearlescents to use. I have tried a few and most are too dark. Anybody who as attempted this already would you mind sharing what brand of pearlescents you used and where you found them. The help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!

Try this: FP440-1
You might also pick up one of Trekmodeler's refit painting guides.

WASCO taxidermy paints for fish are the best

I also used the Wasco Irridescent taxidermy paints

I use PearlEx Interference pigments in a clear medium. My preferred medium is Alclad Klear Kote. Using the pigments you can season the saturation to taste.

I believe the PearlEx interference pigments are what ILM used on the original model.
