040, superwhite
or go for one of the"modern" whites, like ford ice white, or audi ibis white, personally I don't like them, they look bluey to me.
I do, however LOVE pearl white, so I'd vote stick with pearl white, maybe with some white or abalone flake in it

Yeah but when you park it next to something that is actually white, you realise that it's actually Honda Championship Cream

Agreed, having seen Dave's new paint job in the flesh, it is a creamy colour.
But looks stunning regardless.Re: paint change
I have seen a very nice white on an Audi recently, have a look through pistonheads at all the different shades, then take a drive to the local dealerships to see in the flesh, looking forward to see what you settle on

Oh yeah it's a lovely colour
- especially contrasted with some gloss black a la http://image.superstreetonline.com/f/fe ... type-r.jpgIt's unusual to see those warmer whites these days as they're seen as a bit vintage-y so like Rob said seem quite bluey/cold.
The guy at the bodyshop that did my sills had a book of colour variations with swatches showing the variation within each paint code like, say when your MR2 was being painted it was going to be 3E5 red, but the car on the production line immediately before it had been painted 8B6 blue, and they hadn't purged the lines then your 3E5 red would be slightly bluer than a 3E5 red car painted after another red one, or after a yellow one that might come out a bit more orangey.
Really subtle but you could actually order the variations so as to have something as close as possible right out the tin for you to match. I never realised this until he showed me - I thought all paint was matched from one batch at the shop

been looking round and i,m starting to think that i quite like the lexus 070 white, nice and bright, but so is my pearl white, may just say sod the expense and have another batch custom mixed but buy enough for touchup,s afterwards
