All sounds good; even better than present generation.

Would depend on what they offer...

They used to offer Artic Ice Pearl on the Prius 'Classic', which was a smooth color. If you looked at it one way it was a light silver blue pearl, and the other way it was a light silver green pearl.

Was a lot of fun mixing that formula!

Yeah, I remember talking about this color in the past. I rather wish they'd offer it again.

Or... a silvery white.

Nissan has had a very nice white Pearl since the early 90's. What I like to do with this one is, mix the color according to the formula at about 1/2 pint, and then adding 2-3 quarts of Clearcoat so you get a Pearl mist. You paint the car with whatever color you want the car, and then add this as a mid-coat, and then coat with a gloss clearcoat.

I did this with an old Tercel wagon I painted yellow, and it was amazing. A friend saw my car asked asked how I got the 'glow', so I showed him; he painted his Celica a metallic blue and then covered it with this and it was spectacular!
