Well just painted the car today and im not to happy
it was looking great in black once we finishes with the base coat
but once we added the blue pearl i was dissapointed and i think the painter added too much pearl on the clear coat so i think it was his fault
the car has too much pearl so it looks a lot of blue instead of black
the painter said once we glaze it and compount it some will come of because we will be cutting the top some
so does anyone know if this is true
this pic is when base coat was done theres no clear or pearl on it

It's really hard to actually tell how the paint will turn out until it's shot with clear. From the pictures, it does look more black than anything, the pearl will stand out most when the clear is on and it's in the light. Just make sure you really do a good job wet sanding and buffing out the clear. It should look good.

Was this a pro painter? He should know what he's doing. However, if it's a custom job, sometimes it's trial and error.

Body looks good though, keep us updated.

The pearl makes it look awesome. Can't tell if it's black or freaking blue. ***** my mind. Good stuff.
