Paint code for blue fire @KayTwo

It amazes me they don't have pearl white touch up well unless they do. Anyone seen it ?

Speaking of White Pearl, what is the actual difference between White Pearl, White Lightning, and Monument White? Polaris uses all 3.... @rabtech, you have White Pearl, yes? The Blue Fire guys...our white is the White Lightning, right? Or, @Painter, can you shed some light on the subject?

No doubt, but are the ones from Polaris different enough to tell them apart side by side?

And the white that goes with the Blue Fire is the White Lightning, right?

White Pearl (or any other pearl paint) has tiny specks of mica (or something like it) that catches the light to give it that distinctive sparkle. The White Pearl may also have a slight color tint added for a warmer tone. The White Lightning on the Blue Fire LE is just a basic gloss, not a pearl, and more of a pure white. I haven't seen the Monument White but if I had to guess, it's probably tinted with a little gray or tan/brown to give it a warmer, earthier tone.

This is for everyone who has a slow blue fire
I will use this paint soon for one of my projects.

I need to get some of that. I've got a couple rock chips that could use a dab. Did you order direct or through a dealer?

Pearls are usually a multi-layer application and not available in a simple touch-up. I have a White Pearl Toyota 4-Runner and I have the same problem; touch-up paint is not pearl.

if you think about it, it makes sense. You lay down the base color then spray the pearl (metalized clear coat) on top. If you mix the pearl with a colored paint, the reflective bits would just get covered with paint and they could never catch the light.

If your next question is, "Ok, then why don't they offer each layer in a touch up?" my answer is "I don't know."

It would cost too much...and they don't think we're smart enough to to apply two layers
