Well I'm ready to paint my old 65 International project truck and need opinions. I know I want a mint green/silver (cause the trucks getting a detroit diesel) trim color scheme, but what i cant decide is what else I wanna do with it. Originally I was just going to use medium size silver flake in the clear over the green and the silver, but now I'm thinking i want some kind of pearl or candy, I just dont know what would look good over mint green. I'm leaning more towards a pearl because a candy would change the base color too much, I kinda want that slight color change look a pearl gives, like that new GM color iridium metallic, 90% of the time its dark gray but if you catch it at the right angle in the right lights its purple-ish. Problem is I can't think of another color that would look good with mint green, maybe blue? any suggestions?

That thing is beastly

My thoughts are always... less is more. If it were me I'd go with the medium flake you were first thinking. You def don't want to change the base colors imo.
