just thought somepne might come up with some good ideas been advised to go ice pearl or lilac chip
 
I'd just have the mark sorted out personally. People have been putting clearcoat with a pearl or coloured flake on their cars for donkeys years. Looked s**t on XR3i's in the late 80s it'll look even worse on a 172 IMO.

Pearl bollock flakes and w@nky lilacs are crap. That is not my opinion, that is fact. Cars do not look any better, they do not go any faster and more importantly, you'll decrease the resale value.

Toss.

Are you? Pics!!
 
Metal flake in lacquer on everyday cars is not a good idea.

The sun heats up the metal flake thru the laquer and after a couple of years the flake sinks into the paint underneath and effectively ruins the car with sink marks. On show cars its ok as they only come outside every now and then.

If you want it to stand out then pm me and i'll give you some good ideas.

i did consider blue flakes on a silver car once, would look ok. but as was said above, respray it white. white rs's look amazing!
