Toyota 3 stage (cant recall paint code right now, gs300/400) pearl with Copper/Orange pearls substituted in the mid-coat over what Toyota called for.
I splattered some paint on it left over from my engine bay (orange), and my other VC (dark purple) after the base, then laid down the mid-coat and cleared it. It had to be re-cleared due to a 'fish eye' dimple effect from the splattered paint.
Anyways, the pics suck. Cant see the pearl, but here they are:
You can kind of see the pearl in this one
