Rep Power: 0 Paint car need help
I'm about to paint my car a new color. I want to get an idea of colors first, but i don't know where I can go to get ideas. I've heard some people say they painted there car a pearl color. What is that? I need help, I've tried searching but can't find a website with samples of colors. I know you guys always say search, but i've been searching for a while. Sorry for the n00b question.

Rep Power: 0 I know what a pearl color is, but I have a question, how much did your pearl paintjobs cost? Im thinking of a pearl white, like the cadi's pearl white.

Rep Power: 278 Your best bet will be to goto a shop and look at paint chips.. My paint is custom and the amount of pearl is very subtle.. My car was sprayed gloss black then sprayed with a transparent black that had gold pearl in it.. I really like it when it's very clean. I have yet to have it waxed and spotless because it's new paint. Next year I'll have it all beautiful though!
