Default Cadillac Pearl White

Anyone have an F body painted Cadillacs pearl white. I think it would look good. I want to repaint my car sometime but I don't want to do anything crazy something subtle enough that someone could tell its not a stock color.

Man I don't know about you guys but I think the pearl white that comes on Cadillac's is pretty as hell. I used to work at a Cadillac/Hummer dealership and I think that was on of the best colors they had. I think it would look good on a f body.

Yeah I think it will look good. I wish someone out there had a picture of one with it so I could get a better idea. Man I would hate to do it and it look bad. I'm not a huge fan of white but there is something about the cadillac pearl thats just sweet.

There are a few floating around. I know I have seen at least a couple on here. Not my cup of tea, but they looked nice...

Thanks for picture that helped a lot. I like it better than the Artic White but I'm still kinda up in the air about it. I don't know if I like it or not. I have a TA and not Camaro. I don't know if it would look any better or not. Like I said before I'm not a huge fan of the white and I think that is what I'm not digging about it.

That SS is pretty sweet looking.

I love that color but wasn't sure it would look good on an F-body. I was wrong as usual.

I used to own a pearl white 1990 Cadillac Seville STS. Keep in mind that Cadillac made several different versions of pearl white. I loved the color on my STS, but it wasn't a pure white, per se. It had some slight tan and pink undertones, looked more like an antique white if you will, not a pure white. It was definetly a color shifting paint, depending on the light. Depending on the light it looked slightly pink, a light butterscotch, or a pure white.

That car had the most amazing paint of any car I've owned(factory paint BTW). I've never seen any other pearl white Cadillac with that same shade. I personally think the color would look awesome on an fbody, see if your bodyshop can paint a sample piece of metal. See if you like it.
