Cal Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 #1 is also the bottom left one in the first pic. I'd say it's the pearliest - and also the warmest... So #1 is Ferrari Bianco Fuji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) WE HAVE SOME SUNLIGHT!!!!! For a few mins haha Basically - stuff the numbers, I've ordered them in order of preference. It is incredibly difficult to pick up the differences on camera - though most the goons in my office think they all look the same in person! (Yeah, I actually took them to work haha ) But there are definite, noticeable differences in terms of pearl content and warmth/coolness. 1. Ferrari Bianco Fuji - The warmest and pearliest. 2. Lambo Balloon White - More white/silvery than #1 but just as pearly 3. Lexus Glacier Frost - Pearly, but dull/grey in low light 4. Lexus Starfire Pearl - Pure white with coarse flakes, not much pearl 5. Nissan Storm White - Average pearl It's basically between 1- Bianco Fuji and 2- Balloon White. Bianco is warmer and I'd say slightly pearlier than Balloon, balloon is a cooler, silvery white... Balloon gets a better hit of sunlight in this pic so may unfairly sway opinion.

Cal Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ferrari all over the show - and I have to agree, I picked it out myself before looking at the names... Looks best in all lights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Your car will look amazing once its done. That colour will look great along the Zed's curves! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flat white does nothing for the curves at all nice 458 It's an artists impression of what my Z will look like when it's done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 My bathroom spotlights seemed to pick up the differences quite well... I think I still prefer Bianco Fuji. And the Z Works guy has my projector shroud painted - WV2 Silverstone, looks quite dark here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah I think it's fairly unanimous for the Bianco Fuji. Do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah I think it's fairly unanimous for the Bianco Fuji. Do it! Yeah I'm settled on it... There's only 5% doubt in my mind Balloon looks cleaner and crisper, and that 5% is decreasing all the time With regards to my Zworks lights, we both agreed the paint shop haven't matched Silverstone grey very well, it's too dark... I don't want the projector to disappear into the black housing. They are going to repaint them asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I personally quite like the balloon white, sorry but the Bianco Fuji does look great too. I think you know what you wanted already..... go for it mate! Your zed will look awesome! Edited February 20, 2015 by veeg33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Lambo Lime Green with rich fleck should have been an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't apologise mate, you're entitled to your opinion and it's welcome I do like the Balloon White too, I like its crispness... it's worst feature though is that in low lights it looks grey, in certain light conditions it looks far less bright than Bianco Fuji, hard to get a photo to demonstrate Lambo Lime Green with rich fleck should have been an option I'm not quite ready for that mid life crisis just yet mate haha I still like the Balloon White though but I really think you can't go wrong with either colour. Me too mate, nearly all my mates that don't have Z's say go for Balloon... I love that it's crisper/sharper pearl. But the drawbacks are it's more silvery, and grey in low lights especially. Bianco looks great in any light, and I love how the pearl has a satin effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Balloon white looks nice. But what a crap name. Imagine spending that much to tell everyone it's balloon white lol Bianco fuji sounds exotic even without knowing it's a Ferrari colour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People ask about the car all the time, I'd much rather say it's bianco fuji over balloon white haha! But I prefer the bianco fuji regardless... Look how much better it defines the V shape and line in the middle, should really show off a Z's lines and curves well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie94gts Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Excited to see what this looks like when it's finally completed. Should look really nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Cheers Richie! Few little updates from ZWorks doing my lights - the paintshop have repainted the shroud in WV2 Silverstone, I'm much happier with it now, not too dark, not too light - As you can see, he's sanded the Ironman sections clear ready. He's also tinted the dimpled plastic insert ready - he got the tint level bang on what I wanted... Will take the edge off the chrome indicator section nicely! He did that last night... So he's looking to finish up and post to me tomorrow... I won't have them on before the respray (2nd March) I can wait until it's out of the paintshop - probably for the best in case they get damaged. So yeah, it goes in a week today and I'm 100% settled on Bianco Fuji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Very jealous that you're going to have the Ironman mod, I had all the parts here to do and just never got around to growing big enough balls to start it before selling up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 I did notice the Morimoto halo's in your thread mate, was tempted, but after a leaky set of lights I'd much rather a pro do it with experience and the proper butyl seal stuff. Gutted they won't be on when the respray is done - but they'll make really nice living room ornaments while I'm waiting for the car haha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 My lights are built Poor quality pics sent to me 4:30am this morning, but I'm really happy with them! The tint mod looks dark in these photos, but I'm sure in daylight it will look like a light smoke... Very happy with it, and glad I didn't ask him to paint the reflector black, lots of people do this and I personally think it looks cheap. He's also installing LED indicators for me with resistor to prevent hyperblink, should be bright enough to pass through the tint no problem, and look a little more modern at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
