Anyone know of a good source for pearl-additive for acrylic paint (Polyscale)?

Don't know about for pollyscale per se, but I've used Liquitex's perlescent medium a few times, as well as Vallejo's...Liquitex's is a bit more coarse, Vallejo's harder to get and a tad more expensive.

I've also seen decent results with just adding a bit of silver to a paint.
