Help Picking A White Paint For The GTA
Ok everyone. I am picking out a new paint color for the GTA this Monday so we can re-spray the car due to me not liking the yellowish tint to the factory white paint. I am still going white but I want more of a blue hue to the white paint and I want a super wet look to make it really pop. Also, I need help deciding on if I should keep the centers of the factory GTA wheels gold or if I should paint them also and if so what colors does everyone think. I am looking for opinions.
Thanks in advance,
Josh Jacob

What company manufactures the paint or what companies do you recommend? Money is no object as I want this car to have a show car finish. I want it to have that wet look like its coated in glass and just a small shimmer of pearl in the sunlight

Re: Help Picking A White Paint For The GTA
Back when I painted my GTA (circa 2000 time frame), the most "white" pearl that I could find was a Lexus color called "Crystal White Pearl", so that's what I used. Now almost everybody has a nice white pearl. If I could do it over again, I'd stick with a GM color and use a late model Cadillac Pearl.

Pulled the trigger yesterday and decided on Acura Tafeta White Pearl. Lets see what she looks like in the next couple weeks after it goes into the garage to cure.
