What color white is my car?

I need to sand off some rust on my car and need to match it up best as possible. Anyone know the STOCK color of my car? Thanks





Here are some picks of rust...

take a paint chip, or spoiler or fender to a REAL paint shop, they have a camera that can determine the color of your car, its real cool b/c it matchs the color on it, and not the color in the book.....so it will match

even if you get the name right, it may not match the paint due to fading or variations, this is the only way to get it right the first time.

Having worked in color matching before, even this isn't TOTALLY perfect. It's more art than procedure.
