[Shotimes] Wanted Opal Frost Passengerside fender

[Dave Kegel]

The '94/'95 Moonlight Blue is like that (it's considered a pearl).
Something like $300/gallon.

Mind you even with the right equipment it is not cheap, and some colors are
outrageously expensive.  Mostly on new cars though.  I recently was picking
out a blue for my motorcycle and looked at about 10 different shades.  I was
looking at 2004 model colors.  bad idea as each was about 65 bucks a PINT!
I looked at 1999 colors and picked a couple.  First one was $17 for a pint.
I have no idea why certain shades of color are outrageous.  Sure, pearl is
more expensive than metallic than flat color, but WOW!  Not to mention
buying reducer, primer, clearcoat, hardener, and misc supplies.  Body shops
charge a lot, cause it's not a cheap deal.
