well, it's proper in that it's not a pearl paint, it's actually green from one angle and purple from another angle, but i just bought it in a spray can pack, you wouldn't paint a car with this unless you were super keen, crazy, or was upgrading from a car done in house paint. It cost $89 for a three can pack (base,colour and clear) i used 2 packs to do the dash and another one to do some highlights on the doors. If you planned on using a pressure pack to paint your bike then you could use this paint, but i think you'd be better off with a professional jop for a deeper colour (esp. with this type of paint)
