Re: Help with choosing a pearl
be careful with pearl.
#1 they are hard to match/blend if you are ever forced to repair the car.
# 2 many times you can create an unfortunate by product with a pearl application, as sometimes the colors can show a "mixing" hue. like adding pearl to a red often shows a "pink" or "purple" overtone.
But done right...it looks really nice. Like black with a gold or bronze pearl...wow.

Re: Help with choosing a pearl
Don't do that bullshit different color pearl over your existing base coat. You have no idea how many people want me to paint their cars doing that and i tell them they all look like ass. I have pictures, none that can be uploaded though. 
If your intrested in a pearl, stick with a blue. Black pearl? Nothing looks better than a pearl that looks like dirt all over your basecoat
Also, dont go to mattox....tell me what you want if your intrested. I can get you anything and everything cheaper than those fuckers.
