The official Nissan description called it a metallic. The only pearl was white.

not true sir.

the DB B17 paint code is a pearl metallic color. it has metallic or aluminum and then it has Xirallic pearls which are very scarce and expensive and the moment.

edit also depending on which paint matching systems is being used they might as for a undercoat. but probably wouldnt consider it a three stage. That just depends on the painter skill and techniques.

I stand corrected. It's been many years since I've seen this chart...



It's classified as a "clear pearl metallic".
