Hey guys, I've been looking at getting my car painted and tidied up as she's got a bit of cancer in the usual E series places.

I wanna keep it white and maybe put a pearl through it but i've been told it makes white cars look "dirty"

any opinions/suggestions would be appreciated

cheers!

never heardof them looking dirty

unless it was applied wrong

seen a few white cars with a pink , blue pearl and looks awesome

certain pearls can make them look dirty but on the rarity its the base coat colour(shade of white that plays more than a bit part in that.)

go a white tinter with blue/red pearl should look orrite.

cheers, done up a bit of a budget and the paint/bodywork should be done in a couple of months...hopefully

hey just wondering what sort of budget you were looking at cos to get a car painted in a pearl is big $$$ unless you are a panel beater or spray painter

pearl looks ok one my xf`s had while back was white with the blue pearl in the clear think was 250ml pearl with 2lt in the clear coat was a good mix.

wouldnt call it dirty some light angles makes the panels look different colours or missmatched, sort of pain respraying panels but not much different to metalics as long as the painter remembers the white base colour and the clear/pearl mix.

wouldnt go red pearl with white may turn out pink theres to many pink e series being spotted on the streets
*waits for gavs reply*

If you want it not to be dirty get the base color done in Ford super bright white. (i think thats what its called and i think it may be a euro ford color.) Some whites have a minute amount of black in them which when a pearl is layed over the top can make it look a bit dirty.

Where are you getting it done at?
