    What would be the best way to get this color. This is an old photo from the nineties, but this is the color I want for my car.[​IMG]

    It looks like a gold base with a white pearl over the top. The picts do not show it very well. I would do a gold base and then lay a few coats of white pearl over it and clear. You could also do gold base and in the first couple of coats of clear, add the pearl, then a couple of coats with no pearl. Allways do test panels, that way you have an idea before your in the booth.

    Sorry for the poor pictures, but they were taken before digital cameras.
