Want to paint bike, but what about value?
Sounds perfect, actually, any idea of what its going to look like with the blue flake and how skilled are you at this... I don't want my bike looking like garbage! :P lol
Also how much are we looking at for the paint?

I painted his bike Laguna Blue off a s2000,correct. If you want white, you don't want to add a metallic but you want to add a xirallic pearl. If you use just a white pearl, it will have the yellow tinge you see on a lot of tri-coat cars. A xirallic pearl is a pearl thats seen only when the sun is hitting the surface and is very bright, the side tone shows no pearl and helps the white paint remain bright white.
Most companies have their different pearl names, (Spies Hecker xirallic pearl is called Diamond White for reference). Your best bet is going to a paint supply company and finding out what their xirallic pearl is.
Oh, and Paint guns aren't cheap. Yeah your Home Depot brand ones are but they spray like asshole.
