Default Is Pikes Peak White a metallic paint?

I know that some paints are pearl or metallic & some are not. Is Pikes Peak a pearl or metallic white? Or is it just flat white?

Pearl ... !

In Japan, this Z color is called White Pearl... and the White Pearl costs more -- about $120 if I remember correctly. The only color that cost more. Brick is not sold here.

I have yet to se PPW in person, but in all of the pictures I have seen, it looks amazing! It's definitely the color I want to get if/when I get my Z (or maybe Silverstone or Daytona Blue, or..this car looks good in so many colors!!!)

I ordered PPW because I've seen the Nissan pearl and I love it. I ordered the car before seeing the PPW on the Z but since then I've seen it in person and I'm VERY happy with my order...

krinkov... No. Same colors are offered in the US and Japan -- except.... Japan does not get the Brick.


Also... loved your pix of the super cars and retired F1 cars where you work. That is quite a collection of automobiles that I, and perhaps most others here, would love to sneak out for test drive.
