You know that color that stops you mid-scroll? Tiger Eye Pearl is one of those. Deep gold with a burnt orange flip—it's aggressive, slick, and straight from Acura’s performance palette.

This color came to life in a recent DIY paint project by @kdencustoms, using OEMatch Acura Tiger Eye Pearl (YR651P) from Alpha Automotive Paint, supplied by The Spray Source.

And he didn’t just lay it straight—he did it right, spraying it over a grey groundcoat for extra depth and richness. The result? Bold, high-impact color with that unmistakable OEM finish.

This project used our OEMatch Full Paint Kit, which includes:

• Sealer
• Reducer
• Grey Groundcoat (for proper base tone)
• Basecoat matched to Acura YR651P
• Clear Coat - AC-4521 HS Glamour Clear

And if you want to see it in action, don’t miss the spray clip—this is what a proper DIY job looks like with the right gear and patience:
