[Herbbb]

is there REALLY a difference?

lol

[MistaChin]

I'm insulted by this thread. Of course there's a difference!

[Herbbb]

i really don't know the difference.

enlighten me

[Soyabean]

Im not sure but for Crystal white pearl you have to pay $200 for the paint when you buy the car. The artic white you dont.

The CWP when u stare at it from different angles you see yellowish or something. Kinda like a pearl

[WhiteSpeed3]

arctic whit is just white and CWP is pearl white theres a big difference

CWP is better cuz even when its dirty the pearl shine makes it look clean from far away

[eqlso]

Isn't crystal white metallic paint?

[Herbbb]

im asssuming everyone here with whites is CWP.

lol wonder how this post of yours could have changed a few of the posts made in this thread..


I think all whites look good! be it arctic white or CWP. but yeah i always thought the perlinessof the CWP comes from the fact that it was a metallic paint like the mica's...

but what do i know.. I own one of the sexiest colors ever created


Black Mica baby!!

/bow down you CWP b@stards

I love this fact. One of the reasons why I love my CWP Hatch!

I've always loved crystal white pearl, that's why the last 3 cars I've had I've always had them in Crystal white pearl. There is a big difference between regular white and the crystal white pearl. Like what a lot of members have already mentioned it's a lot more shinier and personally the straight plain white looks dull and a lot harder to maintain shiny. If it's not crystal white pearl, the regular white looks plain and dull at times.

I'm not hating on the white color, I'm just saying that the crystal white pearl is lot nicer, in fact it's the most popular choice of color nowadays. Black mica sucks! LOL! haha!

I bought a 2005 artic white back in Oct 2004 thinking there wouldn't be many of them. At the time it was true, but since they released cwp, there's so many whites now...lol

Artic white is better

.....


cause you can use white-out to touch up the paint , I do it all the time

The CWP has flecks of blue, pink and green in the paint. In different lighting they can really stand out. I have had a lot of comments on the paint from people.

Here are a couple pics from when Kaval at Make it Shine detailed my car. Best I could find to show some of the colour in the paint. Hope this helps.

[Hives]

yea, there's a difference. The pearl has the sparkle stuff in it more to look better

[Herbbb]

im getting a choice of black mica, arctic white or electric blue.


I like white but HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE ARCTIC white 3 yet.

paying my deposit at 6. got couple more hours to deicde

[JordanAndrew]

If those are my three choices I'd probably go Electric blue next. I had a black car as my first car and it was a bitch to keep clean, one of the reasons why I don't like black anymore.

IMHO Electric blue looks no different that the blue from previous models...Yawn

The CWP is beautiful in the sunlight I will agree, but white is still white, WE ALL ROCK IT WELL!

i love my arctic white 05 mazda gt...just i'm going to love my '10 cwp gt much better when it arrives lol

[p-o-g-i]

I'll admit that the only reason why I chose pearl white was because it was the only white exterior paint available with black interior. If I were to get the regular white, it would have been some beige interior. I'm not sure if that was only applicable for '07's, but that's the only reason why I chose pearl white.

Looking back it though, I'm glad I chose the pearl white as I've been very happy and impressed with it.

[crystal8484]

Ohhh jealous!!

I went crazy with pics at the auto show of it.

Isnt it harder to match pearl paint when you have to get body panels matched?
My friend's TL which is a pearl white too had a horrible time matching the pearl when he had to have his bumper resprayed from a hit. To this day it doesnt match
