I have an older Pearl 200q, one of the best things I like is the color!

I just drove it through some real nasty weather for about two weeks, the car
hardly looked dirty (and I am anal about keeping it clean). I think it is
probably one of the lower maintenance colors around.

But I hear if you need to get a panel repainted....it's never gonna
match....there is always a risk to everything.
