Default Tinted clearcoat?

Does anybody know if the following colors -

Silver (has a blue effect)
Ming Blue (has a purple/amethyst effect)
Amethyst Grey (has a purple/amethyst effect)

Get their "effect" from the paint pigment or a tint in the clearcoat?

My idea is to get a silver '97 A8 on the cheap (for a six-speed project :-), strip the clearcoat, and get to an amethyst shade.

The silver has a blue tint in the clearcoat, at least that is what I have heard from everything that I have read
