Definitely white.. I WISH my car was white. If you just absolutely have to paint it another color go fire engine red.

If keep it white too. I'm in the process of doing all the bodywork and everything on my car right now. It's currently white, I'm thinking of going with a titanium white when I repaint it.

why not plastidip it for a fraction of the price? can do matte black, white, red, green, any color, even chameleon color changing. i'm saving up for a kit right now it's like 300 bucks and then when you wanna change the color, peel it off, buy a different gallon and dip it again. i think paint is pointless cz it's so fragile

Leave it alone...looks good in that pic....IMO all kits minus shine and AC look like crap....stock is the way to go.....a 97 upgrade is the only kit I would do minus the above mentioned

I bet 7 out of 10 SC owners wished they owned a pearl white one.

I agree with everyone, keep it factory white. You rarely see a plastidip car with an even finish. It usually looks like crap in the end.

cz ppl do it with spray cans, if you get the legit spray gun kit, you can dip your car over and over again and change the color like you change your pants

i think you just haven't looked hard enough

problem is that it is not "factory paint" previous owner got a ****ty paint job. drips and paint all over
so i want to repaint and get it done right.

i will most likely be doing it the same color and hope this time it is done right.

Paint your car Glacier Frost Mica Pearl White. It's like Crystal pearl white but more blue flake. Its the best looking white pearl IMO. It came with the IS350 and GS430. The gold flake Cadillac white for second place. I would have went with GFMPW color, but if I was going to spend the money I wanted my favorite color. Black cherry candy pearl red.
