^Yeah... although they call it "glacier frost mica" and not glacier pearl



on a similar note... why are Lexus pearl whites better looking than Infiniti pearl whites?

Infiniti whites look more yellow than other whites.

The whiter the white, the better.

Indeed.

If my car ever needs a full re-spray for any reason, I'm going with either Glacier Frost Mica, Starfire Pearl, or a custom blend

BMW white is pretty white. I think Glacier Frost Mica looks blue-ish at some angles. So definitely not the way to go if you want a pure white.

I think BMW Alpine White is one of the best whites. But if you REALLY wanted a pure white. Check out a flat/matte white.

Here's a comparison between the BMW Alpine White (Left) and Matte white (Right).



Absolute white.

There's a couple G's painted a Matte Pearl White, looks epic.

I do like the BMW white, but I'm actually ok with a white that's not exactly "pure" provided it borders more on blue than it does on urine... I mean yellow like IP does

The only thing that would keep me from going the "matte" white route, is the loss of gloss.

^The only thing that would keep me away is the upkeep on matte paint
