Default White Paint.......

Look at this color white:



I'm thinking it's either Snow White, or Crescent White. Very very bright. Anyway..what do you peeps think? I bought white paint to do up my inner fenderwells in a checkerboard design, but it's not as bright as the white on this truck. Do you guys think if I got real bright white like that..it will look ok? The color I have now is like an off White. Opinions? Suggestions? Thanx......

I like white, on certain cars. I don't think a tibby would look good in white though. Can someojne do a photochop and show us all what a bright white 2g tibby would look like?

My last car was white, and other than being a bitch to keep clean, it looked really good.

Skierd...I'm not painting the whole car white. The exterior is being shot Candy Apple Purple with yellow pearl mixed in. The white is for the fender wells only. Figured white and purple checkerboard would look sweet inside the engine!

I was thinking of adding a little white to my tib, I'm getting the Evo 6 spoiler and I thought about painting it white and blue, I have a white rear window visor that I then wouldn't paint, then I figure to get white wheels.

I think it'll look sharp but its all conceptual at the moment.

Lo&Show- If you were to paint white and purple checker board use a very bright white. The off-white wouldn't look as good with the dark purple color. That's just my 2¢

Hey Show use brite white or you might be able to just add the white pearl to it and be okay. It would look like the lexus white. Which would like nice which the purple.IMO.

You don't think it would be too "busy?"

Here is my 2 cents. To start sounds like a cool idea but I would deffinatly go with a brite white reason being I don't know if you thought of this or not but your car is deffinatly show quality so you pull in to a show and you have the fender wells painted off white no matter how much you clean some people might think that the paint is either faded (from road salt, dirt, etc..) or dirty and lead them to think you might not take care of the whole car where as if you go bright it will look clean even if it's dirty due to the fact it is so bright, do you get what I mean? But either way it will look cool
