Artic White? what years and what about the Newer BRIGHT WHITE?

When did they change the artic white colors?

like the old color and the newer whiter color...what year was it.....also, I have 1 gallon of base coat 1991 Artic White, i think i would rather the 91-02 GM BRIGHT WHITE......so if ne one is lookn for that color, i have a gallon of ICI ValuPro Artic White for like $50. But i might want to keep it if it is the brigher white....i dunno....what do u guys thinks?

as far as i was told they changed the shade of artic white in 1991. Is that true, b/c when they changed it made it brighter, I have artic white paint, the 1991 artic white, what shade is it, brighter or darker, i just got some conflicting info on this....I also just discovered the GM BRIGHT WHITE color and would like that, and want to know if ne one here would like to by 1 gallon of ICI ValuPro base color(1991 artic white)....is that ne better?

My '89 'vert is the "arctic white". A friend of mine who had a '88 white iroc was more of a yellowish white. When the two cars were parked side by side, you could definitally tell a difference between the two colors. I don't know if they changed the "brightness" of the white after '89. Hope this helps!!

88 89 TA white paint code?

I got 88 TA, and 89 GTA both are the same white color.
Anyhow I don't not have no PRO codes for neither of them.
Anyhow anybody know what the paint code was for a 88 or 89 White TA's?

Arctic White wasn't used until model year 1991. If your 89 is painted arctic white it has been repainted.

My Arctic White 91 GTA, repainted though so may be a little different. Sorry it is dirty too, I took this at work a few months ago when I got it.
