I want to add a glass beads on the paint to make it shinny??
What's the best reflection index can I use??
Best reflection, highest reflection: High Index Standard Airport Grade Type 3 beads or High Index Micro beads. Look under category High Index Glass Beads at colesafety.com
What determines the color of reflection? Is it solely the color the underlying paint / matrix?
The underlying color is a factor however because beads will reflect light directly back to the source of that light (retro-reflection) the color of the light source will determine the color of reflection.
