Hmmm....I believe you could mix the silver pearl with the paint itself. I did that with my Celi. I painted it a forest green with gold pearls. So it would look dark green, but wherever the sun hit it, it would shine gold. I mixed my pearl in with the paint itself, not the clear. Not a pro, but I did most of the work on my car myself. Just my .02 cents!
