whats the best white to go with im painting my 7 next week and i want to get a white that is just sooo white( if that makes any sense) doesnt have to be mazda colors just the whitest white they make. any help is much appreciated.

 

They all look the same to me unless you do an off or yellowish white. Just look for super white or something like that. Tell the guy mixing the paint what you want. Only other option is metallic or pearl.

 

Chevy Arctic White
Subaru Aspen White
Mazdaspeed White

 

i like championship white.

 

+1 for chevy arctic white

thats what i had my old s13 sprayed in
the bodyshop guy where i got mine done said that was the brightest and showed me an accord in that color..

+1 for aspen white. (paint code 51e i believe...)
my 7 was just painted subaru aspen white. i like it a lot.

 

Once I go FC2000, I'm gonna do a two-tone with Lexus Starfire Pearl. Has to be the sexiest white in existance. Everytime I see it, I just daze off and dream of the day my car is painted that color.... awwww... one day!

 

I saw a mazda 3 in a stock factory white color, i thought it looked pretty good.

 

R34 Skyline White is what I'm going with.

 

Just tell the body shop you want pure white, no color.


All whites add a little color to keep them from being too white. When I worked at a body shop, we did 1 car pure white, and it was painful to look at in the sun.

I would reconsider doing pure white, it does not look as good as you would think

 

if you do a "pure" white they usually charge a little less for the paint because its not a "mixed" color. Also should you ever require repairs later on you wont rely on the person mixing the paint to insure a accurate color match, it will always match.

I know in DuPont Imron which is what I like to paint straight 555 white out of the can matches a 10th AE so close that its not worth tinting. Its a pretty darn pure white but it looks great.

Dont do pearls, I find what looks good on a factory car does not always look good on a different car, and if not properly applied the pearl effect will make the car look really bad.

 

Pearl white

 

^ haha, thats the Starfire Pearl I already mentioned.

And to the other guy about not doin Pearls, how would it not look good. I mean I understand if ur racing or drifting and you know there is gonna be damage, so you don't wanna do anything complicated, but my Pearl White on my FC looks amazing! I get compliments daily!!!

 

maybe its the pictures, but your car in those pictures looks dirty.
I dont like pearl whites, its just my opinion so im throwing it out there. I feel they make a white car look like it has a coating of dirt on it.

And what I mean is the way pearl is applied is its applied on its own as a effect coat, the white is applied first, then the pearl. The pearl when its in the can almost looks like a dirty clear, if the person applying this pearl effect is a little heavy in a spot here and there it will make the car blotchy and dirty looking.
Then they apply the clearcoat over that locking it in. Repair the car later on and the person spraying must follow the same spray technique. Guranteed you will no longer be able to spray just the fender, now you will have to do the hood and the door, where as if the car was white you could easily pull off a single panel re-spray.

I get compliments on my black car all the time, and when I had a plain white FC I got compliments on that all the time too- its how the car is cared for not what shade of white it is. Most people would now know the difference unless you painted one panel one white and another panel a different white and had them side by side

 

championship white all the way

 

Lambo white is the brightest white you can get.. It has no toners in it. I put that on my car but it was 4 bills for 1 gal...

 

my s2000 is gran prix white paint code nh565 i like it its a nice white bright enough without being blinding. championship white is brighter.. when i mix paint for my s2000 it has a little bit of ocre green black and yellow in it.. the green is always .0001 of the mixture crazy paint matching computers....

 

My car is realllllllllllly white.

 

What's the paint code for your car, blood?

 

I mixed it myself.

It's a mix of a Nissan white and Blue lexus pearl.

 

Audi Ibis white

 

^ best

 

wow that audi is blinding...
