Yo, I need help deciding on a color for my paint job.

Currently it is White w/ Blue pearl, but my bro backed into me and I sideswiped a guard rail while I was texting a girl (*****' ****.. lol) so it is heading back to the shop soon to get some "plastic surgery".

Options:

1) Stay w/ white w/ blue pearl

2) Strait up white

3) Black

4) Blue (suggest a shade please)

5) Silver

How much do want to spend?
If you do it cheap, just get the damaged area repaired and blended.
If you want a complete, it's gonna run you some cash. The cheapest I can find for a complete in my area is around $1200. Then I know another guy that will do it for around $1500. Unless of course you are doing it yourself, then hey, what's it matter, all you buy is the materials.
Personally, I would do two stage with a deep ocean metallic blue, with red pearl in the clear. That's just me though.
You could always do a tri-stage, or chameleon job with maybe a green gold flip, if you want to spend the money (that chameleon paint is frickin EXPENSIVE).
If you are on a budget, I would just do a straight repair, and blend the area.

I never actually thought about it that way.
A chameleon paint job, is one which seems almost to have multiple colors instead of only one. Look at the paint one way, and it could look dark blue, change the angle, and it looks blood red, change it again, and it seems green.
The combinations are extensive, and gives a car a truely unique, persoanl touch. I never had the chance to actually do one when I was doing body work, so I don't know the procces.

pearlesccent is what I have now. It is same thing as saying "Candy in the paint" basically its one color but when light hits it a certain way you will see hints of another color.

why don't you do black with a blue pearl this time. Or even silver with a blue pearl. I have black with a red pearl...I like it, but I'm repainting navy blue with a silver pearl.
