hey guys and gals, my cars going in for a respray in two weeks, and i need to work out a colour by then. its silver at the moment, and is staying that, as a base colour, but im thinking of putting a pearl or something through it. maybe blue or red. as i dont have $7-8k to do a complete respray, etc, im keeping it 'basically' the same colour, but im trying to change it as much as possible without looking out of place to the enigine bay/inside doors anyway, thats why i need all your professional advice....... its fitted with an aero kit, btw. thanks in advance this is it at the moment

look into a rainbow pearl, my mate used a PPG rainbow pearl on his teritory, was a black car and 3 layered it (black base, rainbow pearl, clear coat) looks insane, heaps of flips etc. otherwise id be inclined to look into metal flake its cheap (like $80 a vial) for the SEM stuff and gives a great effect

I would respray it in the factory silver. Nothing better than a nice clean looking car. Otherwise your car may end up looking like a lollipop on wheels
