Pearl White paint?

[Blue71]

Along with my other thread I had talked about a Pearl White with Pearl White flares and chrome wheels. Does anyone have pics of this look? Color I am looking for is below.

Thanks,

Pearl is expensive. Material and labor wise. If you ever need to fix something it has to be blended more extensively.

It does look good

I just painted mine pearl within the last year... Looks amazing in the sunlight!! but as was said... If you have to do any body work down the line... Big problem blending it. As for the initial cost... I did mostly all the body work and priming.. Then a buddy of mine sprayed it for me... I think I payed around $400 for the paint job... Not too bad I think.

Lexus has a lot of different pearls available to look at. 046, 051, 062, 066 are all nice colors.

2010 ford colors platnium and pearl both should be easy to get color numbers from the dealer.

Do you plan on painting it your self?
A pearl like the one pictured is called a 3 stage, the paint code on the Lexus is probably 062 or 078 and the Nissan is probably QX1 . The first coat is usually a solid white. Then a translucent white pearl is applied on top of that. Usually 2-3 coats. Then the third stage is the clear, no color in it. Painting a 3 stage all over is "easy" since you are only really applying around 5 coats of paint. It's not nearly as hard as painting a candie color. The difficult part of 3 stage is if you have a repair and need to blend it. You can't take the paint to end of the adjacent panel, you have to keep your blend within the panel.

Thanks for the great info. My painter is doing the work I wouldn't even attempt it I did the metal work and he makes it all pretty. Thanks again,
