Very difficult to judge based on chips they show on website.
Seems that you want to go with dark colour - so be strict about it and choose Ice Gold.

OK well i'm leaning towards the ice pearl gold..... I think it'll look amazing..... but how much do I need to cover my entire car and cover it where it looks amazing?
Why are you repainting? Your paint looks fine.

i dunno dustin..i like ur car the colour it is..it looks hot, but i dunno..gold would look sick 2 i guess.
No it's staying the same color... Just the gold pearl clear coat... Gold flake type things
i personally like the ice white pearl & I've seen the actually color sheet, i think it would look best over your color.
is it my eyes or my cheap monitor... they all look black to me...

Thats what I kinda thought... and I've got a good monitor..... But you really think white would look good on my car... Now should I use Gold with it or not? Thanks. Also.... How much of each will I need to make my car look good? I need to know so I can order it. Thanks guys
I said the Ice Pearl Gold...

Cuz the pearl paint job isn't too over the top, but yet, it adds a clean classy feel to it. >smile.gif> In my opinion...

I was wanting to get a pearl paint job on my car... But its not gonna happen... I either wanted the pearl to have a very slight blue tint in it, or a very slight pink in it... I think thatd look hot on a white convertible >tongue.gif>

Thanks for the votes guys n girls, but now I need to know how much I should use for the entire car... I need to hurry up and order this sh!t!!! Thanks
very little. i had my car done in HOK White ICE pearl. i forget the size jar, but it was a small jar.
im thinking he bought 1 pint. i remember him saying it was like $70/pint i think.

It's like $72 for 2 oz..... So that should be enough?
i think so.
he said he only spent $70 on the pearl for my car.
r u mixing that in with the innercoat clear then clearing it?
thats how mine was done.

Jared Harwell
Yep... There was a bigass car show in my town today 1000+ cars... less than 20 imports.... sad.. u shoulda came phat.
I ordered the Gold Ice Pearl and Kosmic Gold Rush today!! Only $140 shipped for a 2oz can of each. Hope it turns out well!! It will be here friday!!
