My 91 Black C4 is going into the body shop for a new paintjob. I want to keep it black but am experimenting with idea of having a pearl tint added to the paint. Has anyone had such a paint job? Or should I stay with a stock black paint job? Any suggestions are welcomed!

Ooooh Black Pearl. That'll look good. Maybe you can change your plate to JCKSPRO, or PIRATES

No, its not too flashy at all. Pearl adds depth to the paint. Very expensive though.

I'm all for it. Black looks good, but you've been there done that. Go with the unique. Plus it wont be TOO difficult of a repaint considering it was black to begin with.
