What is the difference between Pearl White and Pearlized White?
1 Answers
Pearl White and Pearlized White are two types of car paint colors, differing in both material and cost. Material differences between Pearl White and Pearlized White: Pearlized White uses a solid color paint, appearing pure white from the inside out. Due to its natural properties, it cannot be made into metallic paint and does not emit fluorescent powder under sunlight. On the other hand, Pearl White contains pearl powder, making it appear brighter than standard paint under sunlight and giving it a more premium look. Cost differences between Pearl White and Pearlized White: Pearl powder is significantly more expensive than standard paint, and combined with the manufacturing process, Pearl White generally costs more than standard white car paint. From a buyer's perspective, there is only a distinction between standard white and Pearl White (or Pearlized White), not between Pearl White and Pearlized White as two separate colors. Since Pearl White (or Pearlized White) involves a more complex production process, it tends to be more expensive for buyers. Pearlized White is the standard option and also the most affordable. Metallic paint incorporates metal flakes, usually aluminum foil, which gives the paint a metallic sheen and enhances its appearance under sunlight. Pearlized paint, on the other hand, is typically used on white surfaces and contains mica flakes to enhance the overall texture of the paint through the pearl-like luster of the mica.
