don't repaint if the paint you have right now is orginal paint. your car will be worth crap when you sell it if you repaint it. get the chrome rims.

It is currently the orginal. In my eyes I would think it would be worth more since it is custom and it is an expensive modification, but like anything I guess non-stock never adds value really.

Ok maybe not white pearl, but the person was going to explain it more in detail tomorrow when I talk to them but it was an opaque white or something like that where it isn't color shifting, but in different like it has like a slight white color to it. Kinda like ghost white in the blue is the way they explained it.

usually you wouldn't mix it in. you paint the car and then put the pearl on before the clear coat. or you could use a "pearlized" (not sure what it's really called) clear coat. i've seen cars with that done and it looks nice (green w/ white, white w/ aqua, and black w/ dark red...never blue w/ white though).
