yeah like the championship white. its a bright pure white. looks really good to me. its the white that is on the Integra Type Rs. if you wanna stay with mazda colors, i believe the white for Rx7s is chaste white.

I really like the pearl thats on the new Caddy Esaclades (the color, not the car). Although, I dont know if that would look good on an FC?!?!

The Champioship white is not pure white, Ni5mo is right. Chaste White is a very clean white. Toyota Super (not Supra white, but Super) White II is a nice one, but the ITR color is off white, with a hint of cream.

white paint

The paint that comes on the caddys is a Tri-coat. Its nice but a pain in the *** if you ever have to have repairs done again. Its very hard to match. Your better off going with a standard basecoat/clearcoat paint job. If your going to have a bodyshop do the work ask them to use a white tint right off the shelf. The reason I say that is because every white has other colors in it when its mixed, thats why theres no pure white on any vehicle. Also your insurance company might not cover the extra time it takes to do a tri-coat since your car didn't come that way from the factory.

Hope this helps
