True. If I ever went with a different color, it would be from HOK paints.

Wow, I didn't realize that you had to have HOK to have a custom paint job.


White isn't a custom paint job on a white vehicle. Too bad we're not talking about a white vehicle or white paint.

Sorry, but white is not white unless your color blind. There is so many shades of white. On top of that, theres a bunch of pearls you can use to enhance the color more. In this case, the pearl white on the new Lexus' looks alot different than the pearl that is in PPW.

For example...IMO, all the Lambo metallic paints looks ALOT better than the paint that Nissan uses.

no matter what shade it is or name they call it, it is still white. only way to tell is up close. from a distance they all look the same

only way to settle this is to take a PPW Z and a lexus , put them side by side in the same light, then compare them. i still say there is no noticable difference that can be seen from a distance. and oh yeah, they will both still be white

Not true, I personally saw an Lambo yellow Z next to a ultra yellow Z and there is a big difference even from 30ft. away.

the PPW looks good on a Z. the lexus pearl looks good on a lexus. if the OP wants to waste his money on a similar shade of white and think it is something special, then whatever. his car will still be white. at least he is not making his car look like it is primer black

Like mentioned below this we aren't talking about white. We're talking about Pikes Peak White and Glacier Frost Mica or Starfire Pearl. Not sure which specifically the OP is talking about.

Those are Lexus pearl white bases. And I'm not the one that brought ppw into the equation. I know his car is silver. You guys started comparing it to ppw.

I was actually thinking about painting my car this color too. If you, get Mag Blue VOLK's.
