I am going to re-paint my S13 with a fresh-coat of white but I can't decide on which shade of white to go for. I am considering the Champion White (98 Intergra TypeR white) or the Pikes Peak white found on the new 350Z. any suggestion/ opinion is welcomed.

I don't know why, but the question "which kind of white" just sounds silly to me :P

I know it sounds silly, but each manufacture has its own name/code for its color. Like Honda's Taffera white, Champion white, Nissan's Pikes peak white, Toyota's Super white etc....
Perhaps I should re-phase my question to "which manufacture's white paint looks the best on a S13" instead?

Wuz cula got ta do wid it, bra?

White is white, but if you have any tint or pearl the prob is in any later body work or additions. My pearl white Sileighty needed a new front when I added a front mount intercooler. I had a dickens of a time matching the paint.

Thanks for all the reply guys.:):)
WhiteNissanS13, Your car looks awsome!! Gotta love 240s in white, soooo clean!!
I've been searching the net but couldn't find a single pic of a Pikes Peak white 350Z. I went into a Nissan showroom full of 350Zs and strangely they have all other color except white. Is it some sort of "special edition" color?? Anyone has a pic to share? I'll check out the SpecV's Cloud White tho, It'll be great if I can stay within the Nissan's family color code.:D
