Not sure, I mena will it ever shine or should I say reflect like a light red or a black? No. But can it look good? Easily. White cars rarely seem to have as much shine in pictures either, but in person they look very good.

Not sure of the code for arctic white. i know they made 2 different types of that color. One has a tan tint to it. Make sure you get the whiter of the two.
