White looks so much better. Unfortunately, it's probably pearl white.

Out of curiosity, what do you not like about Pearl White vs something like Super White? Just not a fan of metallic flecks in the paint & prefer a flat white color - or is Pearl White just an off-white type color?

I generally like solid paints more than metallic, especially for red, white, and black. The only metallic paint I like is silver, and even then not too much metal flake.

IMHO, pearl white paints are unappealing colours that change and yellow under different light conditions and look horrid as the sun is setting.

...and also, pearl is not a metallic flake, that is a metallic flake. pearl is a...uh coating? it's a semi-translucent effect, like clear coat, but not clear.

all's i'm sayin' is you can have a flat color in pearl. that's all...
