Hey children,
Does any body have some good pictures of cars painted black with red pearl though it? I've been searching google but not coming up with good reference pictures.

To be honest pictures are hopeless when it comes to looking at pearls. Some photos will not show the pearl at all as it depends on the lighting. I know how much it does suck to try and find pictures of colour you want your car to be. I have looked at so many types of white pearls in pictures but always found it better to see it in the flesh as you can take a closer look and see the pearl. Your best bet is to go out and see if you can find a car that is black with a red pearl in it. Yes its hard but your best bet is to go to car shows and take a look.

Hey Michael,

My cousin had her supra sprayed in black with red pearl - i'm thinking its the same as what you are interested in.

I will try and get a photo from her if she has any. Looked incredible in the sunlight after just being sprayed - but as said, I'm not sure how it translates to a photo.

I will try and get back to you asap.

Mate Nathan is spot on. Photos dont show up much. Check all the white soarers pics nearly all have some degree of pearl yet the photos represents that population by 0.

Black with a red pearl is nice if done right... Too much pearl and it wont look too well.. But besides that very nice colour. Just like black with a purple pearl :-)

I'd never own another black car. The Laurel I had was black and it was a very good car, but damn did it get hot in the summer! Climate control worked well but always took a long time to cool down inside in the middle of the day. Mind you my first FSG soarer was a bit the same.

^^^^ AGREED !

My friend had his R32 Skyline resprayed a nice black with a gold pearl and the colour was amazing, just such a deep black and with nice gold specs in it which came out in the sun.

And NO im not talking about flakes or anything, it still looked black just kind of metallic black. Again hard to explain , one of those things you really need to see up close.
