pearl white paint.. question

mark i guess thisis a good one for you… i can t really remember looking at your car for a while but…

im looking for a pearl white that glow’s a nice bright white…

i hate most of GM’S pearl white as it has a tint of a nasty dull looking… tint to it… almost like a slight tan color to the pearl…

makes it ugly i-m-o

basically what kind of cars have pearl white with a brighter looking pearl…

well you have the caddy white diamond…

there is the lexus pearl color

honda put a pearl on the preludes for a while

nissan as a pearl on the new trucks

or you could get a custom pearl mix at any paint place… i am sure that there is more but that should help some

Yeah my paint is like this, here is a pic where the sun hit it at the right spot. At night at any gas station under the xenon lights, it really looks the best.

There is one thing that really sucks about white pearls, which always bugs the shit out of me … the plastic will not match 99% of the time. I like the color a lot, but im considering painting it a a shade off of the factory quicksilver color, or royal saphire pearl… but who knows if / when that would happen.

good to hear…

my cars no super car… so i dunno if im going to paint it or not… just wanted a better shade of white and it don t cost much to do it myself…

i like projects over winter

considering im planing on painting the black plastic trim on the doors and bumpers im guessing the whole white pearl would reflect really bad then…

let me knw

thanks for good info
