Pictures of White cars please

[doctorpepper]

Ok i have thsi week to decide on which "white" I paint the new car, I was thinking about having it done in BMW Alpine white
Like this



My garage are telling me that Ford Diamond white is a very bright white and then I had some advice from "Chipsaway Guy" who said "Renault Blanc (code D31) alternative 2 (standard from 21 Dec 2004) - It's 99% pure white; without getting a custom colour mixed up you're not likely to find a purer white paint."

So has anyone got any pics of a car in Reanult Blanc? or Diamond white? or any other bright white?

Thanks in advance...

Diamond white seems almost creamy in this, have they changed it recently?

Bit like old english white actually. A good colour if you don't want the Daz effect.

White is the traditional colour for Japanese F1 team racing, since the 1920s iirc.
Nissan pearl white.

Current Golf Gti in candy white.

Candy White is only about 90% white tints - black, yellow and red make up the rest. Still haven't found a purer white colour than that Renault one.

Someone probably ought to point out that using photos taken with different camera settings in different light conditions and then just shown on a monitor with a random colour temperature could hardly be a less calibrated way of deciding what is fractionally more white than another paint option.

If you've decided on your spray shop, using their sprayed colour chips should be your only real reference point...

PS The latest version of Diamond White is about 96% white tinter. The rest being yellow/black/green. Not bad, but 3 times as muddy as the Renault.

Damn thats WHITE!!

Without wanting to sound too stupid, but since i know nowt about paint, does the addition of yellow/black etc to white make it "shinier"? is the Renault white very "flat"?
