I'd say maybe the base coat should be near the same shade as the first pearl color you lay down. I'd test it out on something else to see if it comes out like you expect.

Depending on the look I want, I have occasionally used pearls and metallics over aluminum paint. I second the idea of testing it on scrap, however, to make sure you get what you want.
