Im Gonna Blow You... Away..... With My Paint.... Pearl & Candy Same Technique?

[darkone]

ha, well, im bout to send my truck off this weekend for paint. i've included some pics (the inspiration for the design i stole from this site, but i dont know from whom) the green/green is the one i found on this site a while back

Anyway, the guy im taking it to paints a lot of race cars, and some other older cars. he said he paints a lot of pearls, and feels comfortable doing a candy paint for the first time on mine. i believe he has painted many dozzens of cars, he is 25 and youthful, but since i dont know the similarities between pearl and candy, i dont know for certian that he will be in his comfort zone when it comes to laying down a candy. are the 2 that similar in painting technique?

I want to do the dark grey a metalic, and the green a candy, maybe a tad darker than the green ive used here.
