"Remind me never to take my car to you for a repaint"
dont come to me for a repaint, i reminded you, i'm only going by motorcycles, factory mica's on bikes are candies, i only know because i just went through this with a suzuki i repainted, thats why suzuki gets so much for replacement plastics, because its factory candy paint, i dont really care anyway lol, thats why i dont paint much, cuz i hate it! and i wont do anything that isnt factory either, i only do 2 stage work.
and to answer your question, that color is a 2 stage, the base has the pearles in it already, then straight clearcoat ontop. accourding to mazda anyway.
