oh pearl white is a hard job to get right. it will look real good or real patchy.
how aggressive of a flake are you going?

my mechanic had his Suzuki thing painted pearl white and he wished he went for a more aggressive flake/pearl, because you can hardly notice it unless you look real close.
he says "i should of just painted it white, would of looked the same"

Choose shop carefully!!! not all paint brands are created equally. Is it for a touch up or whole respray? i work down at raxworthys they use sikkens paint but i personally like glasurit better... Dave down at Pettigrew autofinish hands road uses glas... He a toyota man also :D
