Here you are Dan, direct from the instructions.


--- Quote ---Uses in Powder Coating clears
1. Candy Pearls
Our candy pearls should never be mixed with less than
½ pound per 25 grams of our powder. DO NOT HOLD
THE BAG DIRECTLY OVER YOUR CLEAR POWDER,
as the outside of any bags may contain contaminants
that could effect your final result. Candy pearls should
not be baked at temperatures over 400 degrees
Fahrenheit. Follow the instructions of your clear powder
for best baking results.

So looks like you mix the 25g with about 300g of clear.  Got to love the way they sell the stuff in grams and then quote pounds for mixing.

MeddlE:
Also quoted from their website (which is a bit of a mess really)


--- Quote ---Our Candy Pearls are slightly opaque, meaning that they will competely cover any base coat after several coats. Remember, you are dealing with solid particles of mica, meaning that you will not acheive a truly transparent finish, but will get a semi-transparent finish or a metallic finish,depending on the amout of our pearl candy you use in you clear coat.
