Help me pick a white color code for repaint

Or maybe a pure white like BMWs alpine white.

My ideal color would be this one, but I can't seem to find the code

your grey choice seems close to the scion tc grey with some pearl... IMO out of the two, I would pick the white you have chosen.

Something different... If I were repainting my car I would have to do something that is unique. Why spend all the $$$ on still fitting in with the norm? AMIRITE?

Thanks man ^,

For some reason, the Z looks a little more grayish purple ish compared to the lamb on top. And with some pearl.

I was also contemplating your current color, ISF blue, but I know a few Gs already rocking it

Ya if you type in that color name into google and add 350z to it his pictures and posts will pop up, as far as I know thats just how the color is. Look at some of the pics of it on the Lamborghini and you can see that it changes shades in different lighting

I loved the pearl white we painted my old srt-4. If I was going to keep my G35 we were planning on painting it the same color we painted my srt-4





Pictures dont do the paint justice. Who knows maybe one day I will paint my next car im buying this color again
