    I plan to make some white applications at my black Saxo but I can not decide which white hue I should take. Please help!!

    My options at this time:
    - original Saxo white
    - dead white
    - pearl white (e.g. Oryxwhite from VW)

    I hope I have chose the right english words and you understand what I want.

    Your english is far better than most the people on here!

    Which parts are you thinking of spraying and what colour is the car?

    Not much. Only the chevrons and the mirror caps.
    My Saxo is metallic black (EXY).

    Can you post some pictures up?
    Is the car OEM now, or modified?

    I always preferred a pearly white to a flat white. Though if you take the 106 rallye for instance, a pearly paint job would look odd.

    Please look at my progress: http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=459035
    At this moment it has only a coilover but it gets white 16" OZ, black head lights and rear lights.

    That is my fear, too, that it could look weird. But I like the pearly white from VW.

    Ford frozen white is a nice white. Which would go well.

    Rob, take the same white like you Ultraleggeras, it looks ugly with two different white tones! I would go to an car-paintshop and adjust the white of the parts on the white of the wheels. This is no problem and they can also interfere metallic parts into the white color
