Default finally going to be getting new pain =)

i like my black cherry pearl color but i want a new lighter color pearl put on it.

i seen people with the starfire pearl put blue pearl and sometimes a red pearl. i think it looks really nice!


what color pearl do you guys suggest on a dark color car?? i need some ideas thanks maybe a gold? but that sounds like it would make my car look even more brown. or should i go for a complete color change?

o i forgot to add that im getting my rims refinished also!!

I've always liked the black with blue pearl. That was what I was gonna get with my paint job, but made the mistake of letting someone convince me otherwise :/ black with pink pearl another fav.

OP, I would change the color of the car assuming that adding pearl would cost as much as re-spraying the car.
