Someday.
any samples of that white Mother of Pearl?

This is just what was done to mine. It,s not for a factory correct restoration. I have custom paint, a mix of black, purple and pearl.. the Vette looks black at first untill youre closer.hood was done also..I recently bought this one from another forum member and am estatic about reactions from locals here. This is just mine and in no way i suggest it,s for anyone else. All Vetts look good to me.

if you're considering a pearl white, look into the nissan pearl white

dont start with the "*** crap" please, I'm just making a suggestion from a painters perspective. the nissan p/w is the cleanest looking and whitest looking pearl whites out there. If you look at the caddy or lincoln whites, theyre all cloudy and have a hint of sand in it
