Does the label say The Black Pearl inside a circle or does it have The Black Pearl Reactive?
If it has the original colors, the Particle one is silver letters, the Reactive is gold letters.
I think my original Black Pearl has XLP traction reactive or something like that on the coverstock label.
The factory coverstock prep for the Black Pearl is Grey Pad (800 grit) then polish to 1500 grit and a lite application of a white pad.
For the Black Pearl Reactive, it's Grey Pad, then polish to 1500 I think. Your best bet would be to call Galen at LaneMasters and he will explain exactly how they do it.
