Looking for white pearl pictures!! Post em up! So I am having the bike painted this winter due to scratches and just all around beat up fairings. I want to do white pearl, as that is what it is now anyways.. but I want to change it a little bit. Anyone ever see a white pearl car/bike with a redish tint to it? Like, it looks like normal white pearl until tons of light or sunlight is directly shining on it, then it looks like it has a slight redish metallic tint to it. This is what I would like to do but I am open to opinions.
If anyone has pics of something like that, or any sick pearl white painted things please post them up!

Red is REALLLLY hard to do correctly.. and i mean damn near impossible especially to get even.. the truck is getting it to look red and NOT make the whole car have a pink tint... my painter onlu uses silvers, blues, and greens over white
blue works the best over white IMHO.

My friend had something like that on his 07 mustang. Except with black. Had a regular black paint job but with all red metal flakes. Looked regular black except when sunlight hit it you can tell very much it had red in it. Looked awesome. I would imagine it would work the same with white. No pics were taken of the car with the paint though before it was stolen and burned

The white with red normally ends up pink; I've seen it done on a test panel, and it ended up that way.
The Blue/Green/Silvers seem to work the best on white.
The Black base coats will take just about any pearl though.
