Go to your Garage โ Upgrades & Tuning โ Paint Car. Select Body Paint to start customizing.
Pick a solid or metallic base that will act as your "undercoat." Darker bases (like black, navy, or deep purple) make pearlescent highlights pop more.
Select Polished Metal or Aluminum finishes. These reflect light differently and give you that shimmering depth. Adjust the brightness and saturation to control how strong the effect looks.
In the Advanced Color Editor, you can fine-tune both the highlight and lowlight colors. For a pearlescent effect, make the highlight a bright, contrasting color (like teal over black, or pink over purple). Keep the lowlight close to your base color for subtle blending.
Add transparent gradient vinyls with different hues. This can mimic the "color-shift" effect of real pearlescent paint.
Drive your car in daylight, sunset, and night to see how the paint reacts. Pearlescent effects look best under changing light.
โ Pro Tip: The best pearlescent looks come from contrastโdark base + bright highlight. For example, black with teal highlights or deep purple with pink highlights creates that "color-shift" magic.
