Default Paint time :d

Hey yall getting ready to paint my baby
im still undecided to the color
its already Diamond White Pearl but is in desperate need of new paint
id like to still keep it white but idk which one i want
ive narrowed it down to:
Diamond White Pearl (051) again
Golden Pearl (057) personally i cant tell the difference between the two
and Supra Super White (040) thats my favorite i just love the way the light hits it
tell me what yall think
i do also like Renesaince Red and Black Onyx but ive been alway taught paint a car close to its original color itll come out better

I agree with your idea to keep the color close to original for better results.
I love a 3-stage pearl paint, but one thing to consider is that it's usually more expensive to do a decent job in pearl and, likewise, any subsequent paint matching (for repairs, etc.) are FAR more difficult to match without quite a bit of blending surrounding body panels. Just some food for thought.

I like the two tone black on tan on white that the guy on the forum has in ft lauderdale. He is somewhere on here. I would go DWP, pearl paint is beautiful imo.
