Question Color code for Pikes Peak Pearl White ?

What is the color code for pikes peak pearl white.
My friends dad is going to spray and install my Nismo wing for me as soon as I get paint.
Any other advise on what brand and what supplier is best?
Thanks!

I also tried to get this paint, but the paint shop told me it is a tri-color so it will cost more. They were trying to tell me something like $90 per pint, so I was like F. that.

I know a lot about my car but just about nothing about paint, however, I thought that there was a number code?

What about the pearl? is that in the paint or an extra step?

I don't have the codes handy but it is a two step paint, base coat and top coat.

QX1 (if memory serves) is the color code for PPW

And PPW is a 3 stage paint...

Is the clear coat considered a "stage" for PPW?

Default it's a 3 step not 2

after primer, base coat, followed by the right amount of pearl to match the intensity of the factory apllication, and then clear. More of a ***** than Kandies. QX1 is PPW.
You also might want to leave your car with the painter so he can match the intensity of the pearl to yours as not all PPW cars are the same.

and another thing. It is expensive paint because of the 3 components. 2 if you have the clear already. Plus once the guy who is going to paint it realizes it is tri-color, if he doesn't request the presence of your car as a match-guide, go somewhere else.
