Yeh 51E Aspen ( or Pure) White.

Check this out, i might do this. Go to https://www.paintworldinc.com and dig up the paint. Comes in a nice kit, with an extra few cans i can get most of the work done myself for around 100 bucks, not too shabby.

if one is better than the other then its still cheaper then getting a body shop to do it..

I might give that paintworld a try for my bumper/wing/hood and if it goes well, i may sand the pinstripe off and blend it to the car.

I used the Aspen white spray paint from Paint World (Along with their flexible primer and clear coat) to do my hood scoop and V6 grill.

No complaints at all, and it matches about 99% to the factory paint.




I should probably get around to getting the bumper sprayed, eh? Damn rock chips.

wow, thats a sweet match, i wish i knew about that before i did my door, although i dont think it turned out THAT bad, but its no means a perfect match... sadly. (i payed 26 bucks for the damn can) The color doesnt shine like the original paint does, which is also a bummer. but here are the pictures from what i did. i got the highest grade Dupont aerosol paint. maybe the bonzo who mixed it added too much of something.. but its a little too pure.
this is my first time using bondo, please dont make comment on the bad bondo job
annnnd, sorry for shitty cell phone pictures.. i couldnt find my camera.
