Ok, so if you're considering a completely custom color now, and a three stage pearl job no less, have you stopped to consider how nearly impossible it will be to match that paint if you EVER have minor fender-bender or a bumper that needs replacement? I really not trying to be a downer here, just want to make sure you have considered it from all angles so you know what you're getting into.Even with a perfect factory formula, a pro painter will tell you how hard it is to match a 3-stage pearl, and without an exact formula, it's becomes really unlikely to accomplish.

I think it'd look great, but like the guy above me said, if you ever need to touch up the paint it will very difficult if not impossible to get it to match perfectly again

This is my main concern with custom colors. It's already difficult enough to find a competent painter that can match a lot of OEM colors, let alone custom ones! Hopefully OP doesn't ever have to pay to have other parts resprayed.

k going with just starfire pearl, the body shop says blue pearls would not look nice and suggested sticking to stock colours. He said it would take another 1 and a half weeks to paint it, is that believable? it took him 1 and a half weeks to remove the hail dents I had prior and sand off my old colour plus removing bumpers n stuff which is a lot of work compared to painting.
