Pearl White?

dhh62fuelie · 06-25-2014, 09:13 AM

I saw someone else mention the desire for this color in another thread, so I figured I'd start one. Does anyone know if there is a planned pearl white color (or any other colors for that matter) in the near future?

Haven't heard of that, but I've seen a JPEG of a pearl white C7 and it looks descent. I'd be interested in a satin white as well. Don't think we'll see this option IMO

the 90 zr1 was supposed to offer that color and never did. I believe it was even in the brochures. However, I did see one on an 89 mule likely the only one ever made

I'd KILL to get a C7 or a Camaro ZL1 in flat/satin white.

GM put the Z/28 Concept out in flat/satin white.

They really need to pull their heads out of their collective posteriors and offer some real options for colors for a change.

I've felt for years the Corvette would do well with a pearl or metallic white. The best shade I've ever seen is the metallic white on the current Tesla sedan. Very crisp and bright, with a great amount of flake. And none of the yellow or cream tint most pearl whites have.

A friend of mine customized a '73 (one of my favorite years) in a pearl white that was absolutely stunning. Mercedes has had one for the SL, as has Audi for some of their models. Done right, it's really a gorgeous color.

There is a pearl white C-7 in the photos a while back- like about 7 months ago.....owner had it custom painted- shows car taken apart and put back together- looked good!
