How to get Anodized Pearl in Rocket League (2025)

Rocket League gives players various customization options for their cars, from changing the actual hood to just the tires. However, many players usually only opt to prioritize the paint finish of their cards, since that’s what gives any car a unique look.

For example, the Anodized Pearl is a very sought-after paint finish in Rocket League ^[1]. However, its very rare status makes it tough to come across for many players. Fortunately, there are some reliable ways for you to get your hands on it, and we’re here to go through all of them in this article.

So, if you’ve been wondering how to get the Anodized Pearl in Rocket League, keep reading because we have you covered.

What is Anodized Pearl in Rocket League?

Anodized Pearl is a Very Rare Deluxe Paint Finish in Rocket League. It’s loved by players for its shimmering, color-shifting effect that changes depending on how the light hits the car’s surface. Unlike flat or matte paints, Anodized Pearl gives your car a glossy, pearlescent look that makes decals and colors pop. Because of this unique finish, it’s one of the most sought-after paints in the game, both for collectors and players who want to give their cars a standout style.

Item Shop rotations

Occasionally, Anodized Pearl appears for direct purchase in the in-game item shop. When it does, it costs 200 Credits. For example, community trackers have recorded Anodized Pearl being featured multiple times in the Item Shop, each time at 200 credits. Just keep an eye on the weekly or daily shop rotation and be prepared to spend 200 credits when it appears to use this method.

Unlike random drops, it’s a guaranteed way to get the item, though you’ll need to be online when it appears in the shop and have credits ready. A good tip is to set an item alert or check shop schedules on fan sites or Discord. If you see it listed, act quickly before the next reset.

Blueprint drops

Rocket League no longer uses crates. Instead, you earn Blueprint drops from matches and challenges. Anodized Pearl is part of the old “Totally Awesome” series, but since drops now cover all series, you can still obtain it via a blueprint. Once you get that blueprint, you can immediately redeem it by spending 200 Credits.

Drops can pull from any series, which means Anodized Pearl is part of the reward pool in Sport, Special, and Deluxe drops. In short, you just have to play and hope. There’s no special requirement besides earning drops. To maximize drop chances:

• Complete all weekly and seasonal challenges to earn more drops.
• Level up each season/Rocket Pass to unlock all free drops.
• Play after rests (challenges often refresh weekly).

Be aware that this method is very random. Some players report getting many blueprints of Anodized Pearl over time, suggesting it is not rare in drops, but there’s no guarantee when you’ll get it. The upside is that it’s free aside from the 200-credit build cost.

Trade-ins

If you accumulate a lot of low-rarity items from drops, challenges, or past crates, you can use the trade-in system to chance a higher rarity item. In Rocket League, trading five items of the same rarity yields one random item of the next tier. For example, if you trade in five Rare items, you’ll receive a random Very Rare. Since Anodized Pearl falls into that tier, there’s a chance it will be the one you get. Note that after the Free-To-Play update, all free items drop from a unified pool and can be traded together by rarity, so you don’t need matching series.

It’s important to remember that trade-ins are unpredictable. You might get any Very Rare, so it’s luck-based. This method is worth trying only if you’ve got five spare items of the same tier that you don’t mind giving up. A tip is to use only trade-ins if you have surplus items you don’t care about. If you do, trade-ins can occasionally yield Anodized Pearl.

Player-to-Player trading

Finally, you can acquire Anodized Pearl by trading with other players who already have it. Because it’s tradeable, many players will offer it in exchange for credits or other items. The exact trade value varies depending on the platform. As of early 2025, market trackers valued Anodized Pearl at roughly 660–850 credits on Xbox and 1150–1500 Credits on PC. 

However, these ranges aren’t fixed, since prices can shift with timing and platform. These numbers are just estimates, though. The exact value shifts depending on the platform and timing of the trade.

If you go this route, use reputable trading channels and confirm the market price. Trading is reliable because you choose when to buy, but it usually costs more Credits/items than the 200 for a blueprint or shop purchase. Still, it’s the most direct option if you have credits to burn or want to trade items.
