go buy paint from FINISHMASTER and pick out a color have and them mix u a pearl white. pearl whites are usually a tricoat. they'll mix u a base coat then a pearl to go over the base. so u'd first have to spary it with the basecoat white then spary it with the transparant white pearl to give it the pearl white look
