Do Pearl White and Polar White Look the Same?

[Young]

Pearl White and Polar White look different. Pearl White is a metallic paint, which is more expensive to repair later but has very high brightness and is quite beautiful; while Polar White is an ordinary white paint, easier to repair and at a lower cost. The differences between Pearl White and Polar White: Pearl White paint contains fluorescent powder, which reflects bright fluorescent particles under sunlight, whereas Polar White does not have fluorescent powder. The paint is pure white from inside out and does not emit fluorescent particles under sunlight. Additionally, Pearl White is more costly than Polar White. Polar White is a standard paint, appearing pure white to the naked eye because it does not contain fluorescent powder, thus it does not reflect fluorescent particles under sunlight and is easier to maintain. In terms of cost, Pearl White paint is more expensive to formulate, mainly due to the labor-intensive process involved in repair, filling, spraying, and polishing, which requires multiple steps. Moreover, spraying Pearl White is more challenging, with high demands on paint thickness control and uniformity. Achieving a seamless repair without color differences requires advanced technical skills. On the other hand, white paint formulation is less complex, making it cheaper than Pearl White. White paint does not contain any reflective or brightening additives, relying solely on the outer clear coat for brightness, making it easier to care for and maintain.
