I have to agree with you Chris. Normally I'm not too fond of Teledials, but they look great on that bug.

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it after the paint.

I like white too. VW used to do Arctic-white. It had the slightest hint of blue, made it look ice-cold.

BMW Alpine white, as found on the E46 M3.

The purest white, most virginal white that you can find :)
