Default Additive Use?

I've PCed single colors and am interested in trying the additives. From what I've read, the priszm additive is mixed into a clear coat and applied. Can't it be mixed directly into the color with good results?

Has anyone tried mixing the red, blue, gold, and silver additives together either as a base coat or in a clear?

Thanks,
dmend

I don't know if this will help any, but I have done silver metal flakes and I mixed some with black chrome, it didn't come out good at all. First of all, you can't even see the metal flake when it's cured, and secondly, it feels rough afterwords.

Now, I mixed some with a clear coat and sprayed it on, WORKS GREAT, shows up nice and brightly afterwords. My advice is to mix it with a clear.....
