championship white dc5 owners

[Type K]

I was wondering do other cw white dc5 owners find that their cars arnt exactly white and more a shade of cream?

Obviously its dependent on how the cars paints been looked after but as mine has the ings kit on it the shade of white is noticeably different on the car and the kit. Anyone had theirs resprayed since import?

Yes it's well known it's cream in colour.just park it next to a white ford to see the difference.

Yes, mine is more cream, more so in places :shock:

In all seriousness though if you give it a good clean and machine polish it should get rid of the of the creamyness as the clearcoat will start to yellow over time if its not been well protected against uva and uvb solar rays. Much more noticable on a white car than any other colours. Another reason you should be using a good sealant under your wax!

^ that was what my bodyshop did to mine to take off the more creamy look as it was looking yellow like above when I had my old spoiler sprayed - it just looked completely out of place than the whole car :xaiweb3:

People seem to forget that clear coat does yellow over time.

Just to give you an idea. I've painted underseal on my car in white. There is a massive difference between the bootlid and the rear bulkhead.

As said, its not a bright white to begin with.

Also, plastic looks different painted than metal.

I used a product called "Pronto Agrasheen" you won't find it on the high street. But other people have used the Hammerite stuff with good results.
