Help me choose
My car is going into the body shop for some well deserved paint and body work. I'm trying to decide which color of white to paint it.
Should I keep it the factory color white or go with another white?
Please everyone chime in and help me decide.
Here is what she looks like now

well after looking at several white paint chips and discussing the pearl white with my body man, the pearl is out of my price range so I guess it will stay the factory color. I like the pearl better but not for the money.

i say stay with the white that you have. If you want to be a little flashy go with the pearl but i like that white you have on your iroc now.

yeah pearl white is nice , but then it costs more and is harder to lay down without runs , and then you have to do your jambs and underhood, Just stay with the white you have , it looks good in that pic . Keep it like that .

Arctic White with some Pearl Flake of your choice gets my vote 
I'm kind of partial to this though as my car is Arctic White with a hint of blue pearl mixed in

I'm glad you didn't go with Pearl. It looks good in some colors, but pearl white on a thirdgen doesn't look that great. My grandma has an '00 Sedan Deville with the Diamond White and it looks great on the Caddy but it doesn't look good on a muscle car.
