Metallic White Paint

I'm going to paint my new Brembo Calipers this weekend hopefully, so I need to go buy the paint, however I don't know what colour to get. I am after a really good bright white metallic paint.

 

Do you guys know of any cars, be it Nissan, Ford, Vauxhall etc etc that has a bright white highly metallic paint colour that is not some special 3 stage paint like Aston Martin Morning Frost White. I want to simply do white primer, white metallic, brembo sticker and clear. :thumbs:

I found a local(ish) paint shop now, so I will go browse their colour book and get one made up there and then. :)

 

What has happened to all the paint shops nowadays? I knew of several, went to a couple yesterday and they are gone. :headhurt: Recession is hitting paint shops I'm guessing. :lol:

No doubt operated by a 16 year old kid who isn't even trained to mix paints.

 

I have been there and had them mix up paint for me before, cocked it up 2 or 3 times in a row, had enough of Halfords, everything they do or sell is crap (except the professional range of tools, they're okay)

 

I will only ever use Halfords as a very last resort.

Maybe I'm lucky enough to have grown ups in my Halfords paint department.

 

They managed to mix me a anodised red, using no paint code and spending 3 hours making the paint match. Not bad by trial and error.

 

If they dont have decent staff the customer suffers.

 

No bad experiences from my very helpful chaps though.
