Custom paint color, one of a kind. Put graphic on it. Go all out!

That's what I would do.

Double the layers of paint. Put a thick layer of clear coat on it.

Nice!

Really why no pearl do you think it would be overkill

Like so many aspects of life... Everything in moderation. Too much flake or clear can look like booty. The right amount is perfect.

If I were to repaint my car, I'd do the Silverstone again and have them
put lots of extra coats of clear on.
