I thought it would look good on a bug - my orignal choice was a mouse grey but Jim's car is to close to it.

Ya, now finding out what a metalic/pearl paint is worth I am leaning towards a solid color.

here is a good point to look at when deciding paint colours,which in the end was a very key point in my decision.it is a car and at some time while you own it ,god forbid!!.they may be a need too do repare or touch up.if you choose a multy layer super fancy paint job it may make it impossible too match later on.since m.b uses standox i was going too use vw polar metalic  ,but found out that the yellow tint was not produced anymore.even thoe i located a pint,down the road a match would most likely become impossible.as many old tints are no longer used in modern paint codes.so i used a moden colour with tints that will always be around ,but changed up the metalic only,so down the road colour match should be easy.
also ,even if you use a solid colour a base/clear system is easier too blend in and repare spots if needed instead of a one step system.

With the new proffit readers there is now the ability to make any paint in any shade.......Painters are using these to mix paints for repairs on vehicles that are now older and of course affected by UV light. Remember that the shade it is today may not be exactly what it is 5-10-15 years from now. Therefore mixing the original formula made it even more difficult for the refinisher to do a blend......James's copper color doesn't seem to be a tri-coat but rather a base clear with the pearl already in the base.....very common on today's vehicles

Apparently it is from a vehicle on Trucks (a show) and the vehicle was custom made from the PPG reps in Tenessee. Since the vehicle is called copperhead....the paint became Copperhead as well. It is not.....I repeat....not from a Pontiac....chev....ford...or any other res rocket. It is actually a real sweet looking colour :mullet:
