Pearl white paint issue

yes, different materials cover differently. The problem is that these are all factory painted, on an assembly line. Any GOOD paint shop can match a color no matter what it

Any GOOD paint shop can match a color no matter what it is. The shop that repaired my wreck said they'd respray my skirts and match them perfectly for $500...I'm looking into getting nissan to cover at least half of that.

It only shows up in pictures because of lighting or flash (because of the pearl). In real life I can't tell the difference.
