What Kind of White is the Cavalier?
2 Answers
The white paint options for the Cavalier include Pearl White, Ivory White, and Cream White. Although all these colors are white, there are subtle differences among them. White is the most popular car color in the market because it conveys brightness, liveliness, and elegance. Additionally, white paint is considered the safest color for nighttime driving. Solutions for yellowing white paint: 1. White paint has its drawbacks; over time, it tends to yellow. Therefore, it's essential to protect the white paint regularly. The yellowing is mainly due to exposure to harsh weather conditions. To maintain the paint's shine, applying a protective car film is recommended. A transparent film not only shields the paint from damage but also prevents it from yellowing. 2. If the yellowing is severe, polishing the car body is an option. However, frequent polishing is not advised as it can damage the paint.
When I was buying the Cavalier, I also hesitated about the white option. Now, after owning it for half a year, I can tell you that the officially promoted color is 'Pearl White'. This white isn't a flat, lifeless white—up close in sunlight, it has a subtle golden shimmer, while from a distance, it looks as warm and smooth as cream. Regular car washes often mention that touch-ups for this paint are more expensive than pure white, and color matching is tricky. There's also a 'Glacier White' without pearl powder, a solid color but very eye-catching, looking especially refreshing in summer. When buying the car, remember to check the color code in the manual, and don't randomly purchase touch-up pens.
