Pearl Paint: A type of paint that is similar to metallic paint, but instead of minute metal particles, it uses mica. Mica is a kind of semi transparent, crystalline mineral that absorbs and reflects light in prismatic fashion. This gives a dramatic, multi-dimensional effect to the paint. Sometimes called "pearl coat."
As it is a more dramatic in it's effect, also it is more dramatic in showing up any imperfections.
if u are going offroad in this baja wouldnt it be best not to waste extra money on pearl and just get a basic colour as it would probobly get scratches etc....my opinion

it was an idea and it did look good .hopefully the won`t be any faults in the body . i probly stick with the enamal paint some said if i stuffed it up i could fix i pretty easly and cheep too .after all the money that i spent on it i don`t think that it`ll be off road for a long while . only short bursts and only on dirt roads .... not many trees up here to worry me , spinifex grass only
