i decided to paint my notchback either copper, or burnt orange.. i want a darker redish effect in the paint. if i were to paint it either orange, or copper metallic, would it look good with a red pearlcoat on top? was even looking at a rootbear pearl.. i cant find a car with this done to see what it will look like though... any ideas?

Not sure what color/look your going for exactly.... this is mine below... its a house of color sunrise orange (or sunset I forget) w/ some metal flake.....


At night or when its overcast/cloudy the color looks much more like a deep copper than the bright orange in the above pic. Much like the Nissan Copper you see on a lot of their cars now.
