Your Purple Pearl Metallic color was discontinued after 1994, it had a short run.

In 1995-1996 there was the color Dark Purple Metallic. It's just how it sounds, a dark purple.


There was a purple in 1997 - 1998 called Bright Purple Metallic, but there weren't a ton made (according to Brangeta only 104 in 1998). I think it looks good though.

How cool you linked back to my site, thanks!

Purple is one of my favorite colors, so of course I have a pic of a '98-02 in a similar color.

Not purple pearl exactly, but a similar custom color of some sort.



This one is legitimately purple pearl as it's a '93 or '94 with the front end converted, but as you can tell, they didn't exactly do a great paint match!
