What kind of paint is the white color on the 2021 CR-V?

2021 CR-V white is pearl paint. Standard paint: Standard paint is the most common type of car paint, representing the most basic and simplest process. Most single-color white, red, and yellow cars you see typically use standard paint. Its composition includes resin, pigment, and additives. In the car paint manufacturing process, standard paint is a single-stage process. Since it doesn't involve mixing with other materials, it has lower costs and simpler procedures. Maintenance and touch-ups are also less complicated. However, being purely single-color paint, its appearance tends to be somewhat monotonous compared to other types of paint that can achieve dazzling, crystal-like luster. Additionally, standard paint surfaces are generally softer than other types of paint, making them more prone to chipping when hit by stones. Metallic paint: Metallic paint, also known as metal flake paint, typically incorporates aluminum or copper powder into the paint base. When light hits these metal particles on the car surface, the light reflects through the clear coat, creating a sparkling metallic appearance. In the spraying process, metallic paint is a two-stage process, requiring a clear coat to be applied over the metallic base to achieve the desired gloss and hardness.
The white paint on the 2021 CR-V is typically Crystal Pearl White, which falls under the pearl paint category and features a subtle shimmer effect, making the car appear elegant and eye-catching under sunlight. As a frequent driver of this model, I've noticed that pearl paint contains special pigment particles that reflect strong light well, slightly reducing the interior temperature. Maintenance requires extra care as it tends to attract dust, necessitating frequent washing, and regular waxing is essential to prevent fading. With proper care, it can maintain its luster for a long time. When choosing, consider that white is safer and more recognizable, especially for nighttime driving. In terms of cost, it's slightly more expensive to repair than standard paint but holds its value well.
