Gm had a 'diamond white' that caught the light well..

I may need something painted, and I guess I could just get something custom mixed, but I wanted to see a few stock colours first.

Yeah and thats just it, its hard to find pics of what they look like out in the light..

White doesn't have to be boring!

Its just easier to go off of a paint code, to try and match it again, or atleast have an idea of what its going to look like before making one up.

Toss some pearls in there. I had an S10 with two pearls, a met. blue and a mango orange, it looked amazing if the light was just right. Yet normally it looked just plain old white. ;)

Its close to the affect I'm looking for, it may be a touch heavy on the blue, but it def has that glow to it under the right light that I want.

It was listed as white w/ blue pearl D675

Gorgeous! You may want to change that up a bit. ALL of A1 autobody loaner cars had that same shade of pearl blue mixed into their white. (just saying :dunno: )

If you had a few anodized bits of that same pearl color, that would look stellar!

Again this is almost it..

But a bit too much like how a black light looks over a black shirt, showing all the specks?.. Like the specks are too large? I wonder if the quality of pearl determines that look? Any pros around?

Maybe a silver pearl would be better.
