whitest of white paint?

i have fleet white on my s10, pretty white to me....

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I do want a sparkle, but I dont want that goldish tone that you see on a lot of pearl white caddys. Is there a pearl that would not make a yellow-gold tone, but more of a neutral sparkle or most a faint blue?

Anyone have close up shots of their pearl white in the sun?

I appreciate all the great help - Thanks again everyone!

toyota matrix 2009 white paint code is eally white, my wife has one, and it is way whiter than my olympic white on my sonoma... IMO

Any white paint codes from newer cars you see on the road today will have small amounts of black, and usually some yellow too. If you want to the brightest white possible, the straight white toner from whatever paint line you choose to use would be the best. And as far as pearls adding a yellow or hazy look to the color, that's only because that's the intended outcome. Nissan makes a pretty clean white pearl, so does Lexus. Lexus actually makes 2 great white pearls, one has a course clean white pearl, with a brilliant white Basecoat under, and the other has a slightly darker Basecoat with a bright white/blue pearl on top. You can do custom mixes tho to get your desired effect.    I would suggest doing a very bright white, possibly even straight white toner, with a pearl coat that has the most course white pearl available for that paint line, as well as some course blue pearl in it. It would look bright white in the shade... even in the dark, but in the sun would be hard to look at, and the highlights will show the brilliant bright flakes of the pearl. No need to really go with a specially paint. Any standard paint system could do that effect (Dupont, PPG, Standox, Glasurit, Spies Hecker) Hope that helps

the sem "bright white" is about the brightest white right out of the can and off the shelf, the ppg white toner 1684 is a great white for a base for pearls as well as most other white base toners like was mentioned before, then for the pearl i like the sem "white lighting(33012)" and the HOK "white ice"( IP02), there's also a great white star shaped pearl, RM uses it and its got a really unique look to it, not many painters even remember it but its still available its number BC 1190 the cool thing about this pearl is it takes a almost titanium color to it in the right light yet its still a very bright white color

Shane Hildebrand... That name sounds so familiar... Do you do any high profile paint jobs?

well yea i have i live in Oregon and theres not a lot of custom painters up in my area, mostly in the hot rod/bike, drag boat  feild and i have done quite a few helmets for different racers, both nascar and off road, i did do some pretty high profile minis in the early 80's tho, in the northwest any ways, one called the wizzard of war, one was black widow, enders toy, double down and a few more now i do a few jobs still but my main deal is i sell custom paint, custom color formulations, pearls flakes and all kinds of special affects  custom paint mask's and some airbrush work
