How to keep a red pearl red???

[gsxr1kfrm918]

Im wanting to paint my motorcycle. And Ive decided on a custom made silver a buddy made up. Its a fairly darker shade of silver but not gray. Anyway, Ive had my wheels powdercoated a candy red, and want a pearl to put on the silver to accent the wheels when the sun hits it. ive tried some test panels with ordinary pearls, and cant get the red pearls, to stay red. any suggestions? ideas? I do not want to candy red the entire bike as the wheels are already red. thanks in advance.

The only way I can think of is using some sort of crystals.
Like you said the pearls get over powered by the metallics. So I think if you could find a red crystal or even a larger red type metallic, I think this would work.
