Ooooh.... The metallic flake. It is mixed Into the paint. This should be pretty much uniform in all the cars unless more/less was added into the mix...

Pearl and metallic paints are slightly different. Both use flakes, but different types... Metallic is more metal shiny looking while the pearl uses mica to give that sheen of a pearl. also, pearl paints sometimes look different depending on angle....l
