***New Paint Job***
My BB was recently involved in a hail storm and now she's in the shop getting fixed. I want to go with a PEARL black as the whole entire car will have to be repainted. What do you think about going with the PEARL and I also would like to ask if anyone has any ideas or images on what I might can do to make this paint job look nasty!!
Thanks====z

Yes, please post the pics after the wash. What is the diff between mica and pearl? I wasn't real sure on how to make it nasty either. I like the two tone, but can't find any really good images to even start getting any ideas. May just end up going with the pearl. The bodyshop is game for anything. I'm working with some really cool guys and they want to trick it out also.

Just to let u know, matte black is awesome, but don't do it!!!
The problem is as soon as somebody brushes by it or rubs it, it gets polish marks and you cant clean it the way you can a clear coat. if you try to buff it, it makes it worse. A friend of mine just painted his miata matt black and same thing happened to him, and his dumbass works at a paint and body shop, so it did'nt cost him nothing to redo it.
Me and my boy that works at the same body shop just finished my car a couple weeks ago.
here ya go, got more pics, but dont feel like downsizing right now, these are just cell phone pics.
