no its not, championship white is really creamy/yellowy when put next to bright white. I know someone with an ITR on white TE37's and it just doesnt look right, the wheels are alot whiter than the car.

well find the "brightest white" you can find and add like 2 or 3 layers of clear coat to make it a little brighter.

Just get a chrome paint job. Thatll blind em more than any bright white out there

Grand Prix White off the S2k is a good choice. PPG Frost White is also very bright

You don't need a color code. Go to the paint store and tell them you want pure white. They will just take white pigment and add it to the base for ya. But remember, white can go either way depending on how it is layed down and is the hardest color to match cause it can go any way. But your best bet is to just go ask for pure white and have them mix it. Make sure to keep note of the ratio in case you need it mixed again.

I'll head up there tommorow and see what they got to tell me. If this is the case I'll just do what you said and I'll defiantly jot down the ratio just in case I need it again.

So your saying this is the BEST way to get the whitest..white possible...

Not to mention that depending on what brand of paint you get they are all different shades. Some companies use a more blue pearl and some use a more red pearl. Relativly minor untill you see the two next to each other and then it looks like night and day.

And I would say the best thing is to go ask the people at the paint store. I'm pretty sure all they will do is add white pigment to the base and call it good. But if anyone knows better it will be the people who mix it so ask them and see what they say.

Same thing-- Lexus/Toyota Super white, I had it on my accord and it was the whitest white (back in 97) that I could find through a paint book with all the OEM paint colors from every manufacturer.
