Actually pop into your local body shop supplier and ask them to mix you up half a liter in two pack (ask price first) wont be that dear i normally pay about £17 for imperial blue ,same sort of mix pearl etc ,this way you will actually see the colour in its full effect

Dont think so,you will need to check with the supplier of the paint ,its not a full blown pearl so you should get away with it ,amount of coats generally depends on how transparent the paint is,dont forget you will need laquar aswell ,best thing buy the paint (half liter) and go around a few body shops ,show them the colour and the car and get some quotes,remember if you can strip it your self and deliver them a rolling shell ,this will help the price
