Good idea. I did it and it looks better. I’m changing paints on the rest of the model. Not sure that is a good idea but I’ve bought powdered pearl pigment and clear lacquer. I think it will be much more iridescent instead of missing with white pearl which just makes a light pearl blue instead of a transparent pearl blue.

I’ll do some testing and decide. I’m not sure it will look bad if the fuselage and engines are more iridescent than the saucer. This thing is going a bit off the rails. But I persist.

So many problems.
