What type of paint is this

Is this a flat metallic sliver?
Pearl with a Sliver base?
Single Stage with flatter?

I'm looking at painting my civic this color but idk what Technic is being used

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say pearlescent silver with a flat clear.

Ok, this may be a stupid question but can you mix pearl right into the paint? or does it have to be a separate coat?

You can but you are better off doing in an intercoat clear or regular clear with a fast flash. If you mix it in the base it can settle in low spots and cause mottling because it wont flash fast enough.
