Default Stay white or change it?

Right now my 2000 Z28 is white with a SS hood, spoiler, and 18 inch dante bullets. I've got the back panel that says camaro painted black as well. Well the car was in an accident and may end up having to paint the entire car to match do you guys think I should stick with white or go to something else. I know they're quite a bit more effort into doing it right but what do you guys think?

Go with a pearl white like the new BMWs and Hyundai. Then you won't have to spend so much on getting all your door jams painted. And it will be similar to the engine bay color.

Arctic white is also easy to find and should be cheaper to repaint as well. Have fun.

Keep it AW.

Pearl paint is cool until you get into an accident or scratches and have to have the car painted...

The colors I would paint my car would be too expensive for me to justify the color change

They just look 'dirty' to me. I love how an artic white car looks when its clean and waxed.

Pearl white won't look good in these type of cars. Do AW.
