I say Arctic or Pearl.
I like Pearl a lot, but a WHITE, WHITE (Arctic White) really looks good too. Either way....Have fun keeping it clean!

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

this bright "shine" of the arctic white is cool.. I like this white in the sun.. I think iīll paint it in arctic!!
you made it without clearcoat or is it just a matt / beamless paint what you have got there?
Looks different to the pics from Spike-Z

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

Re: What Color ? White, or White,.. or White ?!!
I always liked the 3000gt white of the mid/late 90's. Its got some kinda pearl to it, but not overpowering like the new caddi's.

Re: What Color ? White, or White,.. or White ?!!
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.
