Daston Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hey guys Decided to keep the beast white however what white should I go for? Is there different types? I have been told that my local dude can do a pearlesant white using like 12 coats or something no idea what it would look like but sounds good.

JustGav Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've seen a pearl white on an MR2 before, not sure on how he had it done but it always looked as though it was dirty. Had slight creamy colour to it, didn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Honda championship white, Integras, Type R etc. looks a liitle creamy / dirty too. Best bet for me would be diamond white. Just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Pearls always look a bit yellow to me. stick with a bold white. fords white is normally quite bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 i've heard the white they use on merc vans is one of the whitest whites you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 you need to be as white as possible, to show up other white cars when you park next to them. Whenever i have the Supra parked up against a Honda Integra, it always looked nastily creamy by comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondinho Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Nissan did a standard pearl white on the 200sx s14 - I had one, very nice when clean but once slightly dirty it just looked creamy/yellowy! But that white supra above looks sweet as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 would it cost me any more going for a different shade of white or when they say same colour do they mean same colour code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T11MNM Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I think the new Audi white pops. I saw a new S3 the other day in white it looked fresh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 So when I find a colour I like is it just a case of getting the paint code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GAZ 77 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Just had mine resprayed in a brand spanking new colour white and in the sun it's bright as fook, once i've finished refitting it i'll post some pics and let you guess what colour it is!!!

Daston Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 damn is white the new black? At supra pod there was just 3 white cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah i love white, part of the reason being that it stays looking cleaner than black, especially in the summer, black cars look very dusty after a couple of hours, plus they are are much essayer to repair if you get scratches/dents:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
