Default Recommendation's on 230 white paint purchase;

Evening all,

I'm after a couple of rattle cans of 230white paint, for my 1997 WRX.
Any recommendations of any companys to order from, for the closest possible match to the factory paint, I have had a couple of small areas (spots of rust) on the roof that have been rubbed back, treated and primed and are now ready for paint.

Thanks in advance

Either a supplier of paint such as Brown Brothers or going to a bodyshop and getting them to mix the paint for you.

Different companies have different formulaes to get the same colour code but a slightly different shade.

Cheers, i just was wondering if anyone else had been in a similar situation with the 97 230white, that was " tried and tested" and as good a match as possible.

Thanks anyway

Quite right, some refer to it as feather white, others say glacier white, and others again say aspen white lol

I think its gonna be a case of "suck it an see"
