Default Does the paint.......

Does anyone know....the 2001 - 2002 Real Teal paint have metallic in it? Where can I see a close up of it? I've never seen this color in person and I think it might be pretty sweet ???
It's definitely rare, and that might not be a bad thing at The Ride To The Wall, or like gathering where thousands show up.

my sportster was that color. and you're right, it is a nice color. looks awesome out in the sun.

like others have said, it is pearl, not metallic. even though if you look closely at it, it does look like ithas small flakes in it.
