Repaint - Looking for pic of pearl white

I currently have a white Limited with the silver flares/door moldings. I was thinking of painting it pearl white. I am not sure what combo i want. I was thinking of white w/ pearl white flares. Anyone have good pics of a factory pearl white setup.

Are you talking the whole rig or just the moldings/claddings? I think you should just match the cladding to the body. Just personal opinion. And you should paint it FJC Sandstorm!

not gonna change colors since you would see it in the engine bay etc. I wonder if it should be all white or all pearl white.

any pics?

There have been a few white pearls over the years like Diamond, Blizzard, etc. I don't think the pearl effect would come across on a computer monitor. Their color depth and changing tint are best seen in bright sun while walking around the car. Incredibly beautiful, expensive colors.

Your best bet would be to visit a Lexus dealer. Almost all of the pearls are exclusive to Lexus now.

I have been trying to find this one pic i think was on fo_sheezy's cardomain but isnt on there anymore..Anyways it was like an 01 or 02 limited 4runner in the Pearl white with the cladding white as well..It looked great and made me reconsider my opinions on white vehicles.

That is nice in the all white but that would be a PITA i would think to keep clean and looking nice.

Are the factory limited plastic pieces painted or molded that color?

hmmm I like the all white scheme but mine is a '98 So i have chrome bumpers and after the cost of paint and labor, plus the rubber seal things for the flares. I hate to dish out more for paintable bumpers.
