Chevy White is the "whitest" white you will find. Plus it is cheap.

No, the whitest white is the kind used on BMW m3's it's called Arctic Alpine.

It's the brightest, purest, cleanest white. Most other whites tend to have a touch of cream in them.

I am still going with GM White. It's the brightest I have ever seen.


I had it on my last car and it would blind me on sunny days. Trust me, it is by far the purest white there is.

Get a plain white with alot of white pearl mixed into it. That'll shine like crazy.

Why dont you just go to a local paint shop and have them mix you a custom white color that is as pure as you can get it? Just a thought.

Well of course he is going to say that because the BMW white is probally high priced and more money for him.

the paints should theoretically be priced similar. if your shop uses the same brand paints to mix from (like dupont), the mixing paint would be the same price and the shades would be very similar. this crap about it being more expensive is bull, unless they use special additives like pearl in their paint
