Painting the Yukon

[timjohnson22]

So I want to paint my ride dark gray within the next month and a half. The only thing that I am not sure of is if I should go with metallic or pearl. Please give me your input. Oh, and it's going to get bagged at the same time, not to the ground though.

Thanks in advanced!!!!

Are you keeping the rims?

really... id personaly do pearl but thats my 2cents

soulsea I am keeping the rims. I am getting it ready for the HOUSTONs CUSTOM CAR EXPO.

Oh man ... that's great.

About the color ... I'm not sure I can envision the difference so I'm probably worthless in terms of having a take on the subject.

What would be the difference if it's okay to ask?

The metallic look look's like it has metallic shaving in it and the pearl is a solid shinny gray.

Yeah, I was actually just reading this: http://www.autos.com/auto-repair/metallic-auto-paint-vs-pearl-car-paint

If it is somewhat accurate I'm thinking pearl ... especially for a visit to the expos as metallic paint is pretty common these days.

Its totally personal preference to what you are going for. I'd say try to get ahold of some spray outs of each. The tri-coat is definitely going to cost more and take more time to paint though.

Nice to hear
If you don't mind how much is the paint costing you? Oh ya, go pearl

Pearl for sure will look much better and be unique...
