What kind of paint is the white color on the BMW 3 Series?

[BradyLynn]

BMW 3 Series Alpine White is a standard paint, while Mineral White is a metallic paint. The differences between Alpine White and Mineral White are as follows: Material differences: Alpine White is a standard paint, whereas Mineral White is a metallic paint. Alpine White is more prone to darkening and yellowing, and its acid resistance is relatively weaker compared to Mineral White. Alpine White is a solid color paint, while Mineral White, being a metallic paint, requires higher technical skills in paint mixing and application. Color differences: Alpine White is a pure white, while Mineral White is a milky white that appears darker in low light. However, in sunlight, due to the metal particles, it reflects different colors from various angles, enhancing the car's three-dimensional appearance and texture. Hardness differences: Standard paint is simply a blend of resin, pigment, additives, and solvent in a certain ratio, resulting in a relatively softer paint surface. Metallic paint, on the other hand, contains fine metal particles in the paint base, which improves its hardness.
