Scania white is very bright and paint should be available cheaply enough, used all over the world on millions of vehicles.

i've painted mine Vauxhall Glacier white, as i found Ford Diamond too creamy.

 

Here's a pic of it for you.

Vauxhall 'artic white' is brighter and less yellow than diamond :ph34r:

You dont want it white !!!

 

Keep it red / orange :ph34r:

 

Im undecied on what white mine will be yet either.

But likewise, i want something whiter than the creamy Alpine white it is now.

Another vote for Vauxhall Glacier (a.k.a. Casablanca) White.

 

Much 'bluer' than Ford's Diamond so less creamy, but still a very popular colour so many places have it ready mixed in gallons.

 

Ford Frozen White is quite a bright one too, as seen on the latest Transits, or Mercedes Arctic White is another bright one.

My 309 used to be red. And i changed the colour to lexus white. cant remember the code of the top of my head, but i know it had 99% white and the other 1% was a mixture of black and yellow - that being in a litre mix.

My old Cosworth was very bright white,it was painted in just 'base white' :)

 

Thats got no other colours added,its the base colour they use when mixin the manufacturers shades of white,so you won't find a whiter white :)

 

Crap pic,but here it is compared to Ford Diamond white:

just go for a modern super bright red, you will get away with leaving the engine bay etc the old red

yea, i'd agree with that. But if i can offer you one (personal opinion) piece of advice, have it painted in clear over base. That way if you ever need a bit of rework, it will be easier to blend etc. Plus clear coat will stay more glossy than a high solids colour.
