Default what color pearl to put in red paint?

Im going to have the drag car (Integra) repainted this winter and since its a drag car do not really want to get into jams and everything else I do not think. Its factory red, well its been repainted and looks good but was wanting to do somthing a little diff and was thinking a pearl. My paint guy said he would be spraying pearl as its own coat, what color would go good with it? Does anyone have pics or done it? Your imput would be appreciated.

thanks

Put orange or yellow in the paint.
If im thinking what you are trying to do is have it change colors from the angle you look at it?

well if I put a pearl in it, going to have to do the jams etc.. so was thinking doing Supersonic blue, B-70P, or the top on my car is that 04 is300 gunmetal,maybe paint the whole car that color, both would look bad *** with the black welds and 3 piece front.

doing a tri stage is alittle hard if you dont know what you are doing. But i have to say do your jams and things at the same time. You will have a hard time matching a tri stage. So might want to find a paint code with pearl in the code. So that way you got the pearl you want and not the tri stage to go with it.
