A shade of white

Cars coming together, need to start thinking about paint. Pretty sure I'm going to stay with white, black door handles and headlight bezels. But what white?

Are those regular louvers on your car, just painted or what?

Arctic white is the white in my opinion.. its a true white and not off a shade.

I like pearl colours but for some reason I'm not too crazy about the white pearls that I've seen around here (in my area). I do like the white that is avaliable on the 2004/2005 Cadillac Escalade, that colour is wicked! Look it up.

ok so mabey it wasn't 2004/5.. I quickly found an image, says its a 2002. I think this colour would look great on a third gen. Not sure what its called but it definatly has some pearl and metallic in it.

I just realized they were different. Guess cause you don't see as many 91-92 Zs. Looks good though.

white gold tricoat, look into that color if you want a pearl. it comes on the new GXP bonnivilles. it is a pearl white that made me stop and stare, and I am really not a fan of white cars. it has a like a blue pearl in it or something. it is very striking and would look great on almost any car, especailly one as good looing as a third gen. these are the best pics I could find of it with a short search but they don't do it justice at all.
