I would get both whites, then paint the straight white first, finishing with the pearl (actual name is opalescent, IIRC).

I had a 95 that was the opalescent, and I could never get a good look with just the pearl, it was too dark. This is considered a tri-coat color. Supposedly, they paint white first, then the pearl, then the clear. The pearl needs a base.

The pearl may be getting hard to come by. I couldn't find it many years ago, but I may not have searched as hard as I could have because of the poor results I was getting anyway with just the pearl. I never got to try the white/pearl 2 -step idea.

BTW, these paint touch-up bottles go bad really quickly after being opened. If you manage to find the pearl, might want to pick up a couple.

Maybe that's why I couldn't find it, lol! The last time I bought it was when you still bought most everything from brick and mortar stores.

I had got a bottle of touch-up paint for my 94 Bird (Light Evergreen Frost)
No one else on here likes that color, but I do. It's unique. I've only seen it once in person. Post up some pics.
