Talking to my painter, he suggested a white pearl with a blue hue that would only be seen in the highlights. The car would look white otherwise. Any examples out there? Roll Eyes

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

My missus has a 2009 Honda Element SC that is the exact colour you describe, it's called Omni Blue but looks white until you park it next to another white car.

Not really sure how it would come off on a cal looker.

Me neither. Wondering how all the curves would look.  Huh
I'm sick of the plain white but don't want to bother with repainting the interior.

We picked a Chrysler white pearl. So far so good!  Kiss

I saw this fat chick last weekend in Niagara Falls and the window tint adds the 80s look I'm after.

i like what you have there. your color looks better then the one you posted of the 1303. but if it was me, i would make the contrast bigger between the wheels and body. maybe a brown bronze or magnesium color could do the trick.
