Hi.

My Caterham is in for paint in a few weeks time and I think I'm going white. Really like Honda Campionship White but just wondered if anyone on here can recommend any other "off" whites?

Honda CW looks awesome most of the time however in certain light conditions can look very ivory..I appreciate that's part of its appeal but just wondered if theres any other similar shades I should consider. The other colour I've noticed is Mercedes Cirrus White..

Car will have gloss black arches and a few red details..

Cheers, Ed

Toyota Super White 1 which is a 80s/ early 90s era white is a kind of off white tinted look to it, not dull as such it just lacks the in you face pure white shine that Toyota Super white 2 from the later 90s has.

Another option is the 70s/80s BMW range and pre 90s VW catalogues - some inspiration here https://blog.heritagepartscentre.com/blog/2017/04/...

It is maybe not white enough, but I quite like the MINI white silver. ( Just bought a MINI in this colour!)

It looks great in the sunlight, and choosing an accent colour for details I reckon would really set it off nicely.

Thanks both. Love a lot of older shades and incidentally I'd originally set my sights on Mini White Silver but have more recently decided against it as it just looks too silver/flat in anything other than full sun...

Quite like Fiat Bianco Gara but think I'm going to stick with Hona Championship White ..

Will post up once done, ( providing it looks good !)

If you like the Mini colour, what about Mazda's Ceramic metallic.?
