Paint it black or a test panel black, mix red pearl into a clear base mid coat. Take your pearl coat and spray the test panel with one coat, let it dry mask off the area spray another coat etc... When done you should have layers with one coat then two three and so on. Decide how many coats you like after it's cleared and you ready to paint the car

DONT DO THIS!!!
there are chips at places like carquest but as far as something on line you will never be able to judge it the pearl flops so you need to see it in person if you are doing the painting spray test panels put the black down and let it flash off than do one coat of just pearl mixed 50 parts binder 25 balancer to 1 part pearl than do one with 2 coats than 3 and so on than clear and look at in the sun and pick out the one you like the best and write it down and tape it in the glove box! and never put your pearl in your clear
