YES THAT CAN GO OVER WHAT YOU HAVE. TELL THE SHOP THAT IS GOING TO DO IT TO DO A SPRAYOUT CARD WITH THAT ARTIC WHITE AS A BASE SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. i WOULD STILL DO THE DOOR JAMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

yea its possiblt to do, and the price depends on the mehtond they use to get the pearl in there, some places may put the pearl in the clear and just scuff up your clear and put the pearl clear over it, its not the best way, but its cheaper and it works, and definately do the jams

yeah if the place does it right they will just wetsand the car to knock out the texture, and put the pearl in the clear. using scuff pads is a real half *** way of doing it even tho its quick and a lot of shops do it.
