Michael,
I think what you're saying is that you would like to use the pearlescent paint for highlights for a 3-d effect.
When I look at the highlights on a Rembrandt it apears that there is a thin dark outline around the highlights. This shows up in reproductions although I can't tell if the dark is a glaze or a shadow of the raised impasto. In the book "Rembrandt -the painter at work", which is what got me started on all this, it is mentioned that quartz was found in the under painting as well as the highlights. This, it is said, is the reason that the entire painting has the "glow". Unfortunately, I don't have the book with me as I write. I also agree that It won't do much to make a bad painting better.
