im not a big fan of the flake effect. i just want something different.
when i painted my car ive never seen a car with my paint combo and since ive seen and heard of like 5 or 6 of them, hopefully nobody will have this and it will look half decent.
opinions are always welcome
my plans are orange paint, UV pearl, white pearl, white ice pearl
but that could change if i can find a better combo, im not too sure about the white pearl but i like the UV
decisions decisions...

uv and pearls reflect the light...example...white car with purple pearl in the sun shows a nice hint of purple over the white paint like a hazy cool look.
an ice pearl looks like lil sprinkels of "diamonds" or "ice" whatever you wish to call it...the name is exactly the effect u get
a flake consists of larger parts flecks, although they dont reflect light (depending on what you get some flakes do reflect light like the rainbow flake or the silver flake or gold)
as biggie would say "if you dont know now you know......"

Anycolour you pic now will eventually get played out. 
Just get a colour you really like and can live with. Also try and get a colour that is easy to match if you do get into a fender bender. You won't be too happy that your $$$ paint job cost $$$ to match up because they would have to paint one whole side of the car, or the whole thing because you would notice the newly painted part like a sore thumb..
