Do Pearl White and Polar White look the same?
1 Answers
Pearl White and Polar White do not look the same. Pearl White is a metallic paint, which is more expensive to repair later but has very high brightness and is quite beautiful; whereas Polar White is a standard white paint, easier to repair and less costly. Differences between Pearl White and Polar White: Pearl White paint contains fluorescent powder, which reflects shiny particles under sunlight, while Polar White does not have any fluorescent powder—it is pure white from inside out and does not reflect fluorescent particles under sunlight. Additionally, Pearl White is more expensive than standard white. Polar White is a standard paint, appearing as pure white to the naked eye. Since it lacks fluorescent powder, it does not reflect any under sunlight and is easier to maintain. In terms of cost, Pearl White paint has higher formulation costs, mainly due to the labor-intensive process involving multiple steps like filling, spraying, and polishing. Moreover, spraying Pearl White is more challenging, requiring precise control over paint thickness and uniformity to avoid color discrepancies after repairs, thus demanding higher technical expertise. In contrast, standard white paint has a less complex formulation process, making it cheaper than Pearl White. Standard white paint does not contain any reflective or brightening additives—it relies solely on the top clear coat for shine, making it easier to clean and maintain.
