Badger knows this from my other thread about my Kadet. I just used UC Pearl White on a kadet and you are right--it is see through. It is horrible. I had to double it up on the fuse to keep from seeing the base cote of purple transparent where I was making a line. I haven't had it in the sun yet--I'm scared to. I won't use it again. Very pretty, but very difficult to get good results with!
