Default Trying to colour match.....

I have looked up the colour code for my royal navy blue s2k and I see its pearl paint code. My car looks metallic..... Does anyone know if the paint is pearl or metallic?
Cheers.

It is pearl and the code is B-523P (but you probably already knew that) I thought it was a three part paint but I think the "pearl" may be in the colour coat rather than a separate pearl layer.

My local spray shop managed to get the match spot on for my front bumper so I think it may be one of the easier colours to match

Out of interest how much did your local charge for the bumper respray?

I think it was £150 for the bumper and plus £20 for my cam cover - so all in not too bad.
