pearl clearcoat

Wanted to know what you guys thought. I have a sebring silver 98 T/A. I had it wet sanded and more metallic put into the clear coat a few years ago. It is like glass, no orange peel finish and it is much lighter and more brilliant than the factory look. I was thinking of having a tint put in a clear coat and having it re sprayed. Any recommendations or thoughts? Thanks in advance.

tint the clear with a couple drops of blue pearl for a nice subtle pop in the right light and from the right angles.

That is what people are telling me, that a little blue tint will look nice. Thanks for the reply.

Do test panels of different things you'd like to do over your factory color first.

+1 for doing test panels, get something with a body line in it so you can really see want you are going to get, it doesn't take a lot of pearl to get a good effect when tinting clear.
