I am gonna paint the convertible artic white(the bright one) but i want to add something to it, i was thinking just a thouch of pearl in it so you can see on the contours of the car.....ne one have ne idea of what this is gonna cost?

 

Most pearl mid-coat paints cost around the same as a regular base color, so you can roughly consider doubling the cost, not including clearcoat and addatives.

For my GTA, I think the basecoat (white) was about $65/qt and the midcoat (pearl) was about the same.

I'd just get a white pearl color package that you like instead of dicking with putting a pearl coat over a regular white color. I used a lexus color called Crystal White.

 

do you have ne real nice pics of the car?

 

it's hard to get the pearlescant hue to show up in pics. The car just looks like another white car in most of the pics. This shows it a little:

 

so what did she run you overall for the paint job....I think i am gonna go with artic white....the whiter of the two....i dunno tho, your crystal white looks nice.....but i think i will let you have it...you found it first. :hail:

 

My paint-related materials cost me around $900. That translates into around $1100 retail. To have somebody paint it, expect to pay around $500-$800 above a regular 2-stage paint job.

 

Heres a good shot of mine... To the best of my knowledge, the paint is origonal.

 

I've got that blue in mine also but didn't put enough in you can see it when you pull inside a shop or at night.

 

what i am lookn for is a car that will shine, i had a black car and miss that shine that it gave off, but i am not changing colors of the car....too much of a PITA to do it right. I am savn up for the paint job, everything elese on on hold. I also want a more modern lookn interior.

 

So can I just get a pearl layer put over my standard 2 pack white?
