New Paint Wicked White w/ Blue Pearl

I got some bad news the other week. I got smashed up by a hail storm in the Greenville, SC area in April. I just got my car back last week and I got the painter who has done a lot of work in the past for me to add some blue pearl in the mix and here are the results. It shows up best at night under street lights.

i saw a lexus like that once, and have always wanted to do that with one of my cars if i ever had one nice enough worth doing. i think in a couple years once this crap mitsu paint needs to be redone i'll be going that route. do you know if he mixed the blue pearlcoat with the paint or the clear?

pearl was mixed in the clear.....I am no paint guy but he mentioned using some chemical they used to use on color changing paint jobs that made it "pop" better that he put in as well. and he use something called "krystal pearl" apparently paint people will know the difference betweeen regular pearl and krystal pearl.
