No of Levels | Warm white with subtle gold/foundation make-up (such as Toyota pearl white with pearl mica) | Cold white or pure white (without color tone tendency) |
Durability
Pearl White:Pearl powder enhances the hardness of the paint film (2H-3H) and has better resistance to stone impact than ordinary white paint
Acid resistant rain/bird droppings corrosion (special resin coating)
Ordinary white paint: usually with a hardness of 1H-2H, prone to minor scratches
Construction difficulty
Pearl White: requires multi-layer spraying (base color+pearl layer+varnish), with high requirements for spray gun angle/distance (professional construction recommended)
Ordinary white paint: 1-2 layers can be covered, high DIY friendliness
