I parked next to a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox and it seemed pretty damn white lol, and I washed my car not too long ago... maybe my paint is just dull already thats why it doesn't look so appealing to me..

no not sarcasm. He is wanting to re-paint the entire car (from what it sounds) Just buy straight up white, not a paint code that yellow or black has been mixed into it.

Goatman is right. All these colors you see are tinted. Mix base white with x amount of blue, black, brown, or green. The purest white is the straight base white. And it will be cheaper. No mixing and contrasting. Just straight white. Black is the same way.

I have a straight white paint job and it most closely matches Chrysler's Performance White. It's blinding during the day, and it makes the factory Arctic White look yellow.

I've been on the lookout for the cleanest, brightest, more virgin than the virgin Mary, WHITEST white that I can find.
In all honesty, is straight up white base, as in, the material they usually start with when trying to make any other color, the whitest "appearing" white out there?
I want a white, so white... that it seems like it has a blue haze to it. would adding a single drop of blue paint to the mix do anything to accomplish this? Or would it immeadiately make the paint look like the afternoon sky blue?
I've got a custom tag in the making, that both refers to the color of my car, and the aspiration under the hood. Lol

Ferrari Carrara White is pretty ******* white, its hailed as pure white.
i was also going to suggest Alpine White III from BMW. The newer BMW white, has a tad more yellow to it.
Also, you can just ask your paint mixer to customize your formula like ask for alpine or arctic white, remove all yellow, and add some light blue. When i worked at Wal Mart (dark times my friend lol) i mixed paint, and you learn a LOT!!!! Most Whites out there contain yellow brown red and pink. When you take out all the yellow its brighter, but if you add blue it makes it look whiter as opposed to brighter, almost frigid.
