Default champ white paint

does any one have any pics of a champion white paint that is stock and one that was repainted on a car? i want to find out i heard that it was more cream on respryed cars then a stock car. im going to paint my ek and i might just go with plain white paint if its more of a cream color.

It wouldn't matter if it was re-painted or not. A color is a color. Just take it to a good shop. If they use the same paint code, there should be no difference.

it should look the same depending on how good the prep work on the body was done.... if it was just DA'd down and wasnt puttied, or or original color is darker/lighter the paint will look a little tiny bit different. its all about the prep work....bring it to a REPUTABLE shop and have a quality job done, jsut make sure they know wht paint(brand/model, some compaines paints mix weird, cough cough spies hecker, and dupont hot hues) but if its done rihgt it will look dman good. esp. after a nice wetdsand and buff
