I would go with a pure white pigment. Arctic white actually has black pigment it it. Put it next to other whites and you will notice a difference. Just tell them you want pure white and it will be so white that in the sun you won't be able to look at it. PPG Pure White Pigment. You'll be happy!

I agree "Pure White" I did a car a few years back and pure white is very bright.
You will need sunglass to look at it in the sun.

My friend painted his truck and wanted the same thing, the brightest white he could find. I don't recall the name brand but he said it was appliance white or something like that.

well its getting done. my body shop uses only ppg paints and hes doing two 10 inch stripes 8inches apart in white. he said that pure white pigment is actually a pearl additive that gets added to a paint so hes adding that the white paint he has and hes charging 350 for the stripes. Its well worth it and I cant wait to get the car back at the end of this week. Its taking so long because it needs body work and its not going in right away because there is a car in the shop and one in the booth. Ill post before and after pics but unfortuneately the only before i have with my fresh red is straight on. it a good shot for the stripes i guess but id have like a few more angles.

Anyway they should be up this weekend probly saturday
