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!

Don't have any close up pics of the paint at the moment. I won't mind taking some when I get home though. The size is up to your preference. If you do go with the smaller satin, you might have to put more of it to get a better sheen off the paint than you would using the regular pearl. I THINK! Whoever is mixing the paint, just ask if you could watch them mix it. That way you could tell them to add more pearl or not. Just make sure they mix it to your liking. -Ryan |
