Re: painting the teg! which factory white? (2000ebp_si)
haven't noticed it on an Escalade, but I have seen an off-white/pearlescent STS. ..probably the same color. The pearlescent effect is really nice but the color is a little too saturated (too yellowie/cream).
is there anyway to give a basic white (ex. Frost White) a subtle pearlescent look? ..nothing too flashy; just something like the A4's pearl look.

Re: painting the teg! which factory white? (rad_thundercat)
I had my teg painted Frost White w/ 4 coats of a custom silver pearl. I really wanted a nice pearl paint but I didnt want it to give off that yellow hue like the Cadillac pearl. The pictures dont serve it justice but im extremely happy with the results, the paint looks like a simple Frost White in the dark but when light hits it the silver pearl just shimmers. I guess if I had to compare the color to a stock paint it would definely be the Lexus pearl... although I like mine better and its custom.
I see I have some fellow Anticon fans here on H-T
as you can see in the shade my paint looks more like a simple Frost White...

Re: painting the teg! which factory white? (red1997civic)
yea that looks tight. I can see the pearl effect in that first picture. nice car 
the third picture looks really good.
I still need to see the Lexus Pearl in person. If its the one that looks most like Frost White then I'll probably go with that. Anyone know why Lexus only used it for one year?
How much did you pay? I don't think I'll be able to afford a custom job cause I'll be paying to get all the goddamn door dings taken out.
yea, i noticed someone else with an anticon avatar. I've seen a few def-jukies around here too
. ..that sound doesnt get too much love down here though. everywhere is dirty souf' bLiNG'n
