Default Carrara White touch-up paint question

I picked up some Porsche touch-up paint for the new-to-me 2021 Macan I got last week, and there are three different bottles in the package, with no instructions. I usually expect 2, a color bottle and clearcoat, so I'm not sure what's going on with this kit. One is obviously clearcoat, one is very white, and one is extremely pearlescent but looks almost like silver. Any ideas?

Maybe the folks to contact might be the ones that sold this product to you. Have you tried that approach?

Tri-coat for pearl effect. Try mixing a drop of white and pearl together, apply with ultra fine touch up tip, let dry. Remove excess with LIGHT touch and blending solution. Dry, then clear. Won’t be perfect but….
