This is the color i am planning on getting and want to ask some questions for people who have it: How is the color with dust? does it show easier? Do swirl marks show up easily? Does the brake dust show easily? and most importantly In some pictures i have seen of the color it looks like an off white yellowish color, is this just from the camera or does it really look like that sometimes? Thanks.

It does get dirty from road dirt, but no particular problem from dust. No swirl marks. Brake dust is limited to the wheels but road tar shows up. There is no yellow tint, its a pearl white and the pearling picks up the sun great, when reasonably clean. I wash it every two to six weeks depending upon the weather. Clean polish and wax 2 to 3 times per year and it usually looks great. Its my daily driver and its stored outside.

Very sparklie under the sun. Dust?...I wouldnt know, I wash it too much.

You can definitely see the dust after a week or two. As far as brake dust, that is visible after a day or two only on the wheels. No swirl marks like in black cars. But, if you get bird $hit or even armor all that splashes from your tires onto the body, you will see little visible yellow marks on the paint. The yellow marks do seem to fade though after a few days. Also, the wheel wells get extremely dirty. But other than that, I love the color.

PPW is a great color. It not that hard to maintain. Black is the worst.

I alway get white colors.

I think white looks clean.

Generally the lighter the car the less dirt it shows. While darker cars are always easier to get a mirror-like reflection the PPW shines like no other white car. It is more expensive to paint if you have work done because the PPW has to go on in three-stages (the pearl goes on separately where on the darker cars they can add it into the paint) instead of the normal two-stage paint/pearl and then clear-coat.

I am with Phatmitzu…. I wash the car at a minimum of once a week usually twice or more depending on how much I drive it that week and weather conditions.

In my opinion you should buy the PPW!

how much is it to paint the Nismo kit excluding the wing Front bumper Sidfe skirts and rear valences? I just ordered one form 350 forums and wanted to know what to expect?

It is a white car. It will be the same as any other white car.

It shines like a diamond. Unless you let it go too long between washes. But we know you wont!

You typed "excluding" and then listed all of the pieces that make up the Nismo kit. If that is what you meant then the answer is $0.00. If you meant "including" then the answer is (for me in my area) I paid around $750.00. I installed the piece myself so expect to pay more to have the bodyshop install them.

It is NOT the same. I have a "white" 240Z and a "white" Chrysler in my driveway and it is nothing like them.

EXACTLY!!!!!

-white cars dont get as hot as black ones
-doesn't look as dirty
-watermarks are almost invisible

PPW was my first choice (DB a close second)...it's unlike any other white out there (with the pearls as others have stated)...I've had it for a year now and still lovin' it. Be careful of the bumper of stone chips as they are black on the inside. Overall looks great during the daylight (especially at dusk with the sun setting) and even better with the moonlight at night (IMHO).

Here's a link I found with some good picz of PPW:
