Paint question
 
So im in the process of changing my maroon 02 camaro to a white... i was stuck on the arctic white with two midnite metallic blue stripes for awhile... until i saw a pic of a pearl white camaro.... being that im doing a complete color swap i think it would be smarter to do something a little more voer the edge than a straight up gm color(arctic white).... So im thinking of doing the pearl white... but am undecided with the stripe colors... an opinons? or do u think the midnite metalic blue would still be fine? Help please... i need some input

do you mean blue stripes with a lot of pearl or do you mean stripes that are made of blue pearl? huge difference. the second one would come out looking like ghost stripes.

pearl is so hard to lay on!!!!! The car has to be flawless! especailly the prep job!

AFAIK you can add flake to any paint you want before you spray it.
