but i prefer the cadalic pearl white

but once you pearl your parts its hard to match them up if you got in a accident, to match the paint correctly

this is what my body shop told me

how much are you paying for it?

and that escalade blue is even sweeter

I always liked the Pearl white that was on the legend. If I ever repaint my car, that's what I'd use.

Not sure if that's the exact white, but it gives an idea. It's also on Gran Turismo 3. It's a BRIGHT ass white.

I'd have to say to go with the Cadillac White Pearl. I don't know maybe I'm biased. Take a look (probably seen it before):



Or go with the blue, that's also hot, but it'll be alot of work and hence might cost you a pretty penny.

But in any event, good luck on the color choice! And can't wait to see it done. I think it's safe to say that we trust your taste. None of that pilk orange or green shit!!!

Ok, took off the rims, dropped it off at my bodyshop, and it should be done within 10-14 days.

I'll tell you guys this much....i didnt pick any of the escalade colors, and its not gonna be white anymore.

I'm also shaving off the side moldings, the windshield washers, and the trunk emblem. I decided to keep my door handles. I ll have pics up as soon as its done!
