Hey,

I'm having Elle painted in snapdragon yellow, but I would really like to add another dimension to her if possible.

One of my mates has mentioned adding a pearl coat. Does anyone know if this will work? And what pearl colours I could go with over the yellow?

Also, are there any horror stories with this type of paint job or are they usually ok?

Cheers,
Rachelle

i reckon the hardest bit will be getting the mix just how u like it, try an be there when the sprayers mixing it an he should have a practise area or something so u can see how it looks before it goes on ya car....in my opinion :D :cool:

as weird as it sounds, what a bout a dark blue or black mica (very very very fine pearl) or some thing i've just started using, it's called ghost flake, it's totaly invisible untill light shines on and it stands out. it is time consuming painting it but looks amazing when it's done!

hope this helps ryan
