    Anybody done it? Not looking for a pearl paint but a complimentary shade.
    Steering wheel, dash and firewall.
    I see Wimbledon white, Chrysler cool vanilla and vw vanilla shake as popular traditional colors.
    Thanks!

    what is primary color of your ride? steering wheel colors would be most limiting - take a look at Mooneyes, etc to see what is out there

    Corvette white with house of color silver pearl over it. If you are painting and clearing, pearl is not much more work

    ^^^, and a solid color compliments the pearl, in your mention.

    Damn Moriarity, sweet. OT body with black paint, engine and wheels in red, white firewall.
    Interior will be a combination of pearl white and this zodiac burgundy. Got two extra yards of burgundy for insert panels within the pearl white. Nothing set in stone yet design wise except the seat. 20201120_125618_HDR.jpeg FB_IMG_1545506480109.jpeg 20210208_183312.jpeg

    Nice Phil. Looks great with that chrome up top too. I was thinking the door panel perimeters will be white so that the end of the red bench has some contrast along with some red flake center panels to pull it together.
     
  8. So when you say "pearl" we ***ume you mean white pearl????
    It goes with almost any color. Sure it can go with white paint also, as long as it doesn't become too boring.

    White makes a great base, for tints, fogged outer regions, acetylene smoke, then clear the entire work.
