Different colors spray pearl a different way. Some of them you mix it in with the color, some of them you spray the color, then pearl with clear (not the clearcoat on the car, just a clear base for the pearl to sit on top of the actual color) and then you spray the clear. Depending on which way you do it, you will get a different result, but there isn't a wrong or right way. My car is a custom pearl white and I love it. The stock supra pearl white is kind of yellow and looks dark from a lot of angles (no offense guys!).
