Re: What Color ? White, or White,.. or White ?!!
I really like the peal white, kinda like cadilac uses on their escalade. Pretty sweet color, and would look sharp of and f-body.

Let the caddy have the pearl and bling. What you want is Artic White.

My car is painted "Fleet" White, the paint was purchased from Napa. It's cool because in direct sunlight its sort of prismatic.

Re: What Color ? White, or White,.. or White ?!!
I was playing around with camera setting, its actually very glossy. Its actually base coat/clear coat. Out in the sun it will damn near blind you.
Here is a pic under florecent lights

I love white cars!I especially love pearl white.The only thing is that a lot of pearl whites tend to have a cream tone to them.Lexus makes a awesome bright pearl white(starfire pearl).I forgot the code but I can get it for you at work tommorow.

Re: What Color ? White, or White,.. or White ?!!
if you must pearl white is the way to go. but if my camaro was white i would feel like installing a flashing yellow road crew light on top
to just finish off the look
lol j/k a lot of people love white but its not for me. the pearl white does look pretty sweet in the sunlight.
