SupraStar 3000 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I need your help please supra bods. Need to choose a shade of white, so what are your opinions Toyota 040, Super White Pearl White Brilliant White What colour are you white supra owners using? For practicality, I'm tempted to go for 040. Just want a nice deep clean white. Nothing fancy like metal flake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Cleanest, purest I've seen are on the Mercs and BMW's Ed. They just have that edginess. A little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks James. Alpine white needs further investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 did you have your na-tt painted in that shade? What did you think of it? Nah that was black. I went and had a look at a couple of cerberas early in the year and one of them was pearl white. Looked stunning!

DARETT Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 How about a gloss white vinyl wrap: It can be removed whenever, and the paintwork stays pristine underneath. Also can be cheaper then a full re-spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Done a little research on the Alpina White colour Its available in 3 shades. code 300-3 is for E46 (-3 being the whitest) Very tempted to go with that shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooling Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) you should have a look at mazda crystal white pearl untill u get close to it, u will not see that it has metal flakes. it is the best white out there.

jim Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 There's a maserati pearl white that looks stunning in the flesh, there's a really subtle colour change under different light or between daylight and evening. Don't know if it's to your taste Ed but it's different and would make the car stand out over the stock colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Just plain white can be dull and uninteresting. The whitest of whites can be very solid with little depth even when polished. Ever notice how dark paint catches the light and shows off reflections so brilliantly. That's why you have to go for a pearlescent white. That Maserati is nice.
