I like the left one, but again, it's just my opinion. Unfortunately, the pearl dosn't pop on the computer.

Get it in the sun light. And take a pic of it. But take a pic of the side tone of it it will show the pearl better..

You don't want to custom make the color .You want to stay with the formula.. Nason is not a very good on to color match. It is at the low end of Dupont.. Did you try the HOT Hues colors in Dupont or Chroma Luzon colors? I now they are going to be a little more money but you will use a lot less color than Nason ..

BTW any time your gonna mix the paint to something different than whats inside the can when you get it ,
the chances of a color match go right out the window

Is this a tri color in Nason ? If so you need to do a let down panel to see how many coats of pearl you need to put on.. If it is a tri color.

Neat colour! Which brand are you going with? Metallic paints can be challenging but I know you have done your homework.

Thanks for the update!
