Default Help with paint color

I can't decide if I want to go with the same color white on my car or go the same white with white pearl in it. I'm def. going white I just don't know what shade and if I'm going to put any pearl in it. Let me know what you guys think. I'm planning on painting it in a month or two.

alright, i work in a automotive paint store so i can tell you the only way your going to get a white pearl is going TRI-coat. which is basecoat of white, pearl coat witch is just pearl and binder-balancer, and then clear on top. if you try and go just basecoat clearcoat pearl its going to come out yellow. i personally like a nice white cool white not a warm white. but try the paint code QM1 its a nissan code and i was looking at that for my 95 coupe. its a tricoat... GET Chromabase which is dupont, its the best out there hella better than ppg, and dont go single stage it will look like ****

Cool I'll try that color code. My buddy works at a body shop so he'll have access to alot of color chips. He told me that it would be a tri level paint. Thanks for the advice.

A pearl would look so sick! I love the way the pearl is on stock cars like navigators. I used chroma premear.
