white repaint - color comparison charts


G71

Recommended Posts

hey guys

my 71 will be repainted white without vinyl.

im guessing i can see the original white paint color code here in "resources" but are there any good color comparison charts out there someplace, where you can compare virtual swatches side by side?

i don't necessarily need to keep it the original color, looking for a simple appealing brighter traditional white (arctic/polar etc) and not any type of "off white"

looking to keep it simple and not complex (no pearl or specialized tones etc)

 

thanks

Whenever I mix a white paint I am amazed at how many different tints are in WHITE paint. Some have a few grams of blue other yellow and even had one last week that had a touch of red in it. They all looked white but when under the spectra graph you can see the hints of the other colors. And black is not black anymore so many of them have pearl or metallic in them.

Pat, If originality is not important, pick a white from a vehicle on the road or at a dealership.

I just bought a new 2020 Impala and it is very white!
