yes

better get a clear bra.

 

No, the Brickyard is a metallic with gold flecks in it. You can't tell until you're right on top of it. Its a beautiful finish and I garage mine every night. I've had it 17 months, no chips, but only 7880+ miles.

Pearl = off white.

 

dats a lol of money, either clear bra or the black mask...
i would rather pay 300$ for a full body kit, wut do u think?

 

I have PPW and it is a soft pearlescent color imo. The rocks, dips, chips and sudden run ins with parking barriers is a ***** I must say. A bra is fine, the 3M clear bra or mask whatever you call it is a nice way to go, and if done right will protect your vehicle. As far as the bug splatter chip residue, if it gets tooooo bad Ill just have my from bumper re-painted. Better yet maybe even a new body kit, hmmmmmmm, Ill wait no hurry. Coming from someone who said they would NEVER!! own a white car, Ive come to really
like this color on the Z from a selfish to cleaning reason.

 

I guess this is where black would be a bit handy with chips? . I'd invest in a clear bra when the time comes for me to get a Z, I just don't know if it would cause long term damage once it's taken off, and if it is really noticeable. I mean waxing/cleaning the car - wouldn't the wax just appear different on the clear bra'd areas?

 

The problem I've got with a clear bra is when I had and installer do a test strip to compare the colors with and without.

With the clear bra material he used, the pearlescent color lost it's pearliness in that area and the white took on a discolored yellowish look. It wasn't obvious, but enough for me to decide not to get it. When the chips get so bad I can't stand it anymore, I'll just have the bumper repainted for close to what the clear bra costs installed.

 

You are correct our Z and Maxima are the same exact color Pikes and Glacier, I dont see any difference. I get lots of people that love the color.

 

Nissan use to do this is from 89 to the mid 90's, they would charge you a premium for Pearl White Paint.

 

Pikes Peak White OWNZ !!! I love this color-- you have the most options in aftermarket with it (ie bronze, gold, gunmetal, merc silver, silver rims)-- cf looks good, white looks good, everything matches white. Yeah, it's the shiznit. Especially in the sun after a good wax job-- the car just glistens and is blinding.
