Getting alloys refurbished to put on Corsa, what is a good White, nice and bright? Was thinking Honda Championship White?

What you think?

if its going on wheels, then white is white, It will only get chipped and stuff.

Championship White aint cheap for 1L and you wont even need that much!

Get them powder coated in straight white. You don't want to fuck around with fancy colours if you don't need to.

I thought all paint was pretty much the same price?

Unless you mean rattle cans vs compresser type.

I knew that's what he was reffering to but alot of people use cans for wheels and I just wanted to avoid any confusion before people started telling me cans were cheaper than the stuff you put on through a compressor.

Your input hasn't really helped with my question though

Any white with a touch of blue will look bright instead of looking like a dirty white, the ones above are a nice white
