Tamiya racing white

Has anyone used this color before i tried it on a wrx and it didnt come out pure white but a little yelloish...I want a paint that is pure white...Which one do you think will be good? Would Pearl white be better than Racing white??

That is up to you, whichever you like better, If you think pure white looks better than its your model However my personal opinion is I would keep it racing white, Something a little different. honestly when I showed my friend both models he couldnt tell the difference... But again your call

Racing white is suppose to give a creamy creamy look. Personally i think it will look good on a 97' ITR..

yeah i think racing white should be used for Hondas Championship white

a friend here has a white WRX and it matches more closely with pure white...

but then again, it's ur own person preference on what u want to paint ur model.

Yes, the color is meant to be used for Honda RA272 F1 racer, which was painted in that color. The more recent Type-R are not pure white, but slightly (just slightly) yellowish, to coincide with the car, which brought Honda the first victory in F1 in 1965.

I second your thought on racing white being a great color. Especially on honda civic's.
