    mica i think are metallic acrylic paints..like silver mica mostly used to repaint mags..but there are mica white din..so it will just look like normal acrylic paint..unlike tricolor which will give it a chameleon look, 1 of the favorites of ricerboys hehe

    MICA is considered pearl. it is the smaller version of metallic. pure mica colors are the ones used in tricolor paints but its pearl when mixed with base colors. mica colors are more expensive than metallic. but tricolor costs more.
