Red pearl over white base?

[kevsLX]

Anyone ever done that? Just tossing some ideas around for my truck. I'm probably going to two tone it, with white as the main color and a bright metallic red above the body line, but thought maybe some pearl over the white would spark it up a bit. just wondered if red pearl over white would make it look pink

I would be using PPG pearl powder mixed into DBC500 over DBC white.

Hey man,how you been?I think I'd try a test panel first.A little pearl will be unnoticable until the light hits it right but too much could give it a pink cast.

Hey rex, yeah I figured a test panel would be my best bet, just trying to save a few bucks, hoping maybe someone has tried that combo.
I asked my jobber about the PPG pearl powders today and he let go out back and check all the colors out. Was kind of diggin on the Prizmatique powders and I checked out the color chips for them, neat but I dunno, a little to "metal flakey" maybe. It's so hard to get a good feel for them off that little color chip.
Finally getting to spend a little time on my truck, fixed the big dents and got it in primer now, going to block it out over the weekend then hit it with a couple more coats of 2K and lather, rinse, repeat. Getting a buddy to weld in my rollpan tomorrow and hell, I'm almost there after that.
I'm stuck with a red interior so color combos are kinda limited, but I am definatley open to suggestions.
