What makes the best combo for the ghost tint? pearl? silver? frost? Do I have to clearcoat? I know there are issues with red and "pinkineg" out the flames... help!

I think that a regular fire engine red base with pearl red flames would look nice.

PEARL IS A BASECOAT SO MUST BE CLEARED.
RED PEARL IN TOP OF BRIGHT RED WILL GO PINKISH DEPENDING ON THE SHADE OF RED PEARL THAT YOU USE.
THE RED PEARLS THAT LOOK WHITE IN THE CAN AND ONLY RED ON THE ANGLES THAT YOU LOOK A IT WILL GO PINK.
SIKKENS RUSSET PEARL LOOKS COMPLETLY RED IN THE CAN AND IS STRONGER .
ALL PAINT COMPANIES HAVE THE SAME THING AVAILABLE.
TO USE THIS AS A GHOST EFEECT YOU NEED TO REDUCE THE STRENGTH WITH A BINDER
8-10 BINDER
1 RUSSET PEARL.
OR ELSE IT WILL NOT GIVE GHOST EFFECT IT WILL BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLOUR.
WHAT COLOUR RED DO YOU WANT TO USE?
BRIGHT RED WILL BE DIIFFICULT FOR GHOST EFFECT, BECAUSE EVEN SMALL AMOUNTS OF PEARL, ADDED INTO ,OR ON TOP ,OF BRIGHT RED ,WILL CHANGE THE COLOUR QUITE DRAMATICALLY.

I am also planning to shoot flames with a pearl midcoat on a red show truck. The base color is 89 ford medium scarlet (2D).
I have seen flames that came out pinkish on red vehicles before so I wanted to research the job well before I get to the paint stage.
I'm planning to use PPG products and I was planning on just having my supplier prepare a pearl midcoat. Is that a bad idea? I don't want to end up with rosey flames on my red truck, just a whispery subdued set.

I BELIEVE YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF TINTING YOUR SCARLET BOTTOM COLOUR SLIGHTLY DARKER WITH VIOLET OR MAGENTA FOR THIS.
PEARL WILL ALWAYS MIKLY UP A SCARLET
THE VIOLET AND MAGENTA IM REFERING TO IS NOT PEARL BUT SOLID COLOR TINTERS.
PEARL AND METALLIC WILL NEVER GO WELL WITH SCARLET REDS, THAT IS WHY YOU DONT SEE THEM OFTEN

WHEN I MEAN TINT YOUR BOTTOM COLOR I MEAN AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY SPRAYED THE BOTTOM COLOR ON
