I'm interested to see this, as white is probably my favorite color in the Crossfire. In fact, the ONLY reason I'm not driving a white one is the absence of the supercharger...

Definitely post pics asap

If I ever have a need to repaint the whole crossfire... she will most likely get a pearl white...or BMW's alpine white. such a great looking color.

i will post pics on sat. its done now, but it still needs a color sand and buff and polish. the color sand is a wet sand with 2000 grit to get rid of any inperfections. then a buff and polish to make it stand out. i used the oe alabaster paint code but i purchased the pearl from lexus. the pearl they use on the white IS. I compared pearl whites and this one has more of a blue hue than a pink . the cadillac pearl looks good on cadillacs but its too yellow for me, it looks awsome. i dont want to post any untill after the colorsand. i also had a wheel allignment done, along with brand new tires. The guy that painted my car said he could fix my headlamps. you know the foggy... they look brand new..... very happy cant wait for you guys to see this......

Looks great so far! When she gets completed, be sure to take some shots from multiple angles (Like over the rear fender, etc) so the flake can really pop.

Good call on the Lexus Pearl
