Don't know if it's a made color or custom color. But you're needing a silver color with a ton of blue pearl in it. Just go to a paint shop and ask for their speciality colors. Their pearls and all that good stuff. Try to stay away from mixing colors. Then it's hard to match if you ever need to paint something again, or touch up something. My color comes from dupont. It's not a mix color. Just look around. The color you're describing sounds tight though. Do something crazy like this.

so just SSM with lots of blue pearl would give me the color i am looking for?

Should, but check a paint store first before you try the mixing panits.

hmm thats not exactly what i was picturing. im thinkin of a more blue tint to the silver than that. almost so that you have to question if it is silver or blue.

could a body shop paint a bunch of pieces of metal to show me color samples so i could get what im lookin for?

Yeah, that's more of a holographic type color. It looks crazy though. But I'm sure if you talk to them and show them that you are serious about painting it that color, they will work with you in any way.

Oh crap!!! I'm stupid. Bro, your car is already silver. All they have to do is use your silver as a base coat then add the blue pearl to it. You'll save money b/c you wont have to buy the silver. You'll just have to buy the pearl and clear. But again, talk to them first. They're the pros. But I'm sure they can do that.

how much you think it would cost to add the pearl?

Not too sure?? Compared to a full paint job....a lot cheaper.

Just go to that website that is on that picture of the bike... www.colorshift.com ...i'm sure they can help you out a lot....cause if you want it that way similar to the bike, it's pretty much a chameleon paint job...which for those...the cost gets up there...that website says that for a full car paint job....not getting sprayed, just the paint just under $1500...which is similar to a very good professional job of a base color...

Yeah, but I don't think he's wanting to go that extreme. I love that color though.
