      White is just cool--it was the ****e in BMX bikes in the '80s, and it's stuck with me since. It was also RUN DMC, K-Swiss, Pony, and some other stuff in the
      '80s; I'm not sure what else there is. I have a white mountain bike (the On-One Inbred, which originally only came in white), a white Ford F250, and a white Falcon. Granted, neither the Falcon nor the truck were white because I chose the colors, but I do like white as a paint color... It's mostly the BMX bike thing from my childhood, I think...



      For an awesome white car, search for the Chevelle Grand Sport. It is inarguably one of, if not the coolest Chevelle out there, especially when you see it in person (pushing it around at Laguna Seca helps)...

      I'm wrapping my (already white) car in a white pearl until I get a real job and can spring for the $8k paint/ body work. Of course what I'm doing should in no way affect what you are doing.

      if you're doing this temporarily, why dont you plasti-dip your car? it'll be at least ~1/6th the price

      not white, but results were impressive:

      I love white. There was a video a while back on Youtube of some guys flogging the crap out of white 69 with Alien Ant Farm as the soundtrack and it made me want a white 69 to beat on.

      I'm going to do the wrapping myself, and since most of the cost of wrapping is the labor it won't be that bad. From a materials standpoint the costs of wrap vs. dip are about the same for me (my compressor isn't up to the task of spraying a car). I've actually tried plastidipping my trunk, there are some pics of a quick job laying out stripes toward the end of my build thread. Plasti dip is cool stuff and I use it on other cars, but I really want that shiny pearl glisten and it just isn't there yet.

      Took this at USCA in Daytona. Don't know who's it is, but thought it looked super clean.

      I saw this white '69 at a cars n coffee this morning. It just came out of paint a few weeks ago, there's a little blue in the pearl, and what the camera didn't capture was the ghosted Z stripes which were done with bigger flakes. Nice car, and the owner was cool too.

      Heres the only descent pic I have of my 69 Firebird. This is after install of ridetech Coilovers and new wheels. I haven't taken any better pics because Its been in storage lately because we are building a house and are between homes now.

      Looks really nice, I love that truck on the lift behind you as well. Any info on that? Like is it for sale?

      White also stays cool in the sun and helps hide imperfect bodywork. Dark colors on repainted cars tend to do strange things when they get hot in the sun.

      If you do white, I like the de-chromed look.
