color choice Reply #8 – March 21, 2006, 01:41:58 PM I agree with the pearl idea. I was thinking about doing that with my car as I too have a blue interior. I really like my bright appliance white though. Quote Selected

color choice Reply #11 – March 21, 2006, 10:34:06 PM I agree. I like the pearl white colors as well, but the pearl seems to often be achieved with a sort of golden micro flake which goes with tan and other interior colors which is why I suggested the bright gloss white.However, if the paint shop can use some sort of very very light blue flake to achieve the pearl affect, or something similar, that particular hue of pearl white would go very nicely with your blue interior.Does that make sense? A lot of the pearl whites out there seem to have a sort of "almond" pearl type of look, like a "classic white" of sorts (at least they look that way to me). If the pearl effect can still be achieved with like an extremely slight hint of "ice blue" pearl or something, that would look bad ass. Quote Selected
