Default Pearl White/ White Diamond Tricoat / Metallic White

Pearl White/ White Diamond Tricoat / Metallic White

Who else thinks they should be offering this on the C7? Actually I felt it should have been an option on the C6 ZR1...

GM Has the paint code... Cadillac's "White Diamond Tricoat" ...even top end Tahoes had this as an option, what gives!?

I think Actic White looks great on a Vette. I would not buy that color on a Vette. It looks to girly to me. But that is just my opinion. I can see where some people would like that color though.

To each their own and that is great.

At first I would have desired a pearl white. But not the GM pearl white. Nissan actually has a great Pearl White color that doesnt look beige at all. So does Lexus.

But after seeing the Arctic White on the C7, Im glad thats what I ordered . It looks absolutely amazing!! Chrome wheels and badges paired with those black vents and accents really makes it

Pearl white, black rims, and the Z51 appearance package with the black spoiler and mirrors. That would be pretty frickin cool!

Not going to happen. White is a homage to the original '53 Corvette (any color you wanted as long as it was white). They're not going to have two whites.

It would work as long as there are lots of black or gun metal gray accents...but no chrome...JMHO.

On order: Torch Red Z51
Default

On my Lexus the color is called 'Starfire Pearl'. I would have ordered it if available, would have been great with the Kalahari. I ordered Torch Red instead but I'm also a fan of the Artic White.
