if u wet flat the whole car you could put a couple coats of white pearl over the top then laquer it and you would get a similar effect, would be as shimmery though

its still nice mate, if i paint a custom colour that isnt a manafacturers colour i normally use the same colour base, use alot less paint and covers really easily when you paint the pearl

The Fiat 500 one is pretty cool, but I think the Audi R8 V10 is my favourite one atm. No ideas on names though I'm afraid!

It's not - a V10 R8 goes past Lemass fairly regularly and it definitely Pearl White. Tom can back me up on that  I like Ibis White as well though

Must be a special request - A Pearl White is not on the Audi Website as an option - the only white they list for the 5.2 is Ibis White...
Same situation through my Company Car supplier too - in fact, they have an option - "Exclusive paint to customer's formula (£1700.00)"
That'll be that then.
