I’d love some oppinions on this. My Mustang has been in the shop for months on the slow boat to Partial Restoration. There was rust! There were increasing budgets! There was gnashing of teeth! Anyway, the long of the short is final prep is upon us and I have a decision to make. The car will be factory red again and it will have the white rally stripes again. They were vinyl originally but I’m having them painted instead.

Context given, here is my question:
I was considering having them add a touch of pearl to the white stripes and now I find myself vacillating between pearl/no pearl. Help me out, y’all. What do you think I do?

UPDATE : Thanks for the feedback, everyone. You’ve pushed me back to the plain white str ipes direction.

Personally I dislike pearl. I don’t like how it looks. I don’t like that it is extra stages of paint. I don’t like it is a massive PIA to touch up.

So I vote no pearl.... obviously.

Just do one with pearl and one without. Best of both worlds.

I’d go without, personally.

I vote no pearl, I'm not a fan of the look.

Unlike others, I do like pearl in some applications but I don’t think I’d do it for this one.
