Default Choosing a bright white paint code

i am looking to start painting my jdm converted integra. first, i do not like the dull/dirty white like championship white and i dont want to go frost white since my cousin has that already on his jdm integra.

what is a nice bright white? for honda oem colors i was looking into tafetta and s2000 grand prix white. is tafetta creamy like championship? will grand prix pop off like frost white? decisions decisions

frost white has a blue tint, if you want a true bright white try Olympia white it was put on the NSX Ive painted i couple of cars that color, it herts to look at when its out in the sun.
the paint code is NH 509

NSX white is sick... and taffetta white is always a nice clean white in my opinion. neither of the two are creamy. as far as OEM colors go, i'd go with NSX Olympia white! you cant go wrong with taffeta either, but Olympia seems to be a slight upgrade lol

cant really go wrong w/ taffeta white. I really love the color and would probably never change it
