Pearl will add a lot of pop to just about any paint job, more so when viewed in sunlight. As mentioned above, it is impossible to touch up. It also requires more effort when painting. Since it is a high solid paint, it wants to separate the moment you stop mixing it. The panels of the car need to be placed relative to their postion on the car for painting, i.e.: hood and trunk lid laid flat and the doors held vertical. When painting a little shake or flick of the wrist after each pass will keep the solids suspended during the process. As you work down the car, you need to paint the appropriate panel as you work past its opening to keep the matching areas using the same paint and level in the gun. An experienced painter will worth the money for this type of paint. The car shown has 2004 VW paint codes with the pearl in the dark blue only.
