What shade of white is the Corolla's white paint?
2 Answers
The Corolla's white paint is Super White Pearl White. 1. Introduction to the Toyota Corolla: The Corolla is the tenth-generation straight-line upgrade of the Toyota COROLLA. Since its release in November 2017, the Corolla has garnered attention from consumers worldwide. Today, this globally best-selling car is produced by FAW Toyota, allowing Chinese consumers to once again experience Toyota's latest technology and driving experience. 2. Overview of the Toyota Corolla model: Key advantages include low fuel consumption, comfortable ride quality, and smooth driving performance, along with a wealth of user-friendly interior configurations. Major drawbacks include frequent issues such as oil burning, alignment problems, unusual noises, and electrical circuit malfunctions. Recent consumer feedback has highlighted problems with universal joints and in-car CD player failures, raising concerns about potential design flaws in components like the steering gear. Additionally, the braking system is noted to be somewhat soft.
I remember specifically asking the salesperson when I picked up my car that the Corolla's white paint actually comes in two types. The most basic is Super White, code 040, which is a very pure plain white, like the color of A4 paper. Choosing this color makes repairs cheaper, as regular repair shops can mix the paint. However, note that this white paint lacks metal flakes and pearl pigments, so it tends to yellow over time. The other type is Pearl White, officially called Super White II, code 070, which contains mica particles that create a subtle shimmer effect in sunlight. Back then, I compared them in the 4S dealership parking lot—the Pearl White cars had a bluish tint in the shadows, giving them a particularly premium look. But touch-ups are a headache; you have to go to authorized shops to avoid color mismatch. Routine maintenance is about the same for both—regular waxing is essential to prevent oxidation.
