To get the effect that I wanted, which was a fade from light on the outside to dark on the inside, we loaded up some clear with a silver pearl. With a detail gun we then just sprayed the outside edges until we started to see some color arrive. This took 4 coats. I then masked off the border stripe which is an 1/8 inch, and then shot the color over the main stripe. I couldn't find a candy purple that I liked so we started mixing up something until I got the color I wanted, and then we thinned it down with more clear to make it transparent. After we were done, we got the bright purple over the pearl and the dark color over the black. Once it was cleared it really popped.
