Yes it is actually a tri-stage paint.
True pearl you do the following:
Shoot a flat base coat.
Shoot the Pearl.
Then clear coat.
Metallics are easier to shoot in base/clear because it flashes quick.
On single stage you can have a build up of metallic's, and actually have a metallic sag, but no run in the paint. Or tiger striping.
If this is your first paint job, stick with the base clear on the metallics, it is just easier to work with.
Downfall is you have to shoot twice as much paint.
Ok thank you I guess that not a true pearl then and it just the name of the paint lol. The name of it is burnt copper pearl. It's the top pic in my original post. It's pretty close to the color I want I wish I could find some pics of on a car tho.
