Changing the Color of G

Im gonna repaint my car here within a couple months. Looking for suggestions. My thoughts are either 2011 GT-R Pearl White, or BMW Interlagos Blue Metallic. Not looking for anything too wild, but something subtle yet sexy, and i know the BMW Blue isnt subtle, but its an amazing color... any suggestions are welcome

if you want a subtle yet eye catching white, stay away from any PPG pearl whites from any manufacturer including that GTR white you got pictured, they're all yellowish and it looks dull and sorta dirty. The Lexus white I don't mind the pearl, but it has a bit too much blue in it, a hint of blue would have been nice but it's too much especially under moonlight or streetlights, to the point where it doesn't even look pure white anymore.

The whitest OEM white I have seen on production cars are the Isis White Audi offers on their TT's and also Porsche has some really bright whites on some of their cars, I don't know the exact color name or code but it's super white it was either a 911 I saw locally with it or a GT2, not too sure, but definitely look those up.
Lamborghini has Bianco Avus and Bianco Isis that are super nice whites as well.

And don't even look at the Alpine white from BMW, it doesn't compare to any of the colors I just listed above, trust me I'm a guy who done his research on whites, check my profile pic of my car above.

^ Thanks for the info, my dad owns an autobody shop that i work at, so im going to be using Glasurit 90 line most likely.
Porsche and Audis whites are very bright, but i love the pearl in the Nissan color

well ok if you like pure white without any yellow then you shouldn't go with the GTR white, because though it seems like a clean white it really isn't. I parked my G next to one last year and my paint made the GTR look damn near yellow.

But hey if your pops runs a bodyshop, hell you could have him do a custom mix of white easily, and add all the pearl you want to it... you lucky man, if I had a family member with a body shop I would literally paint my car every summer season no joke
