My '74 2.0 is going to paint soon, and I want to change from Light Ivory to a brighter white. Some pics & suggestions??

Here is one with Chevy Chase in National Lampoons Vacation.
(Ignore the Fiat Spyder across the street. )

No point in a picture, my 914 is Ivory White, but the colour I think your looking for is called Artic White. I don't think it's a regular 914 colour, more like 911 or 928.

here you go
914-6 in white

Heres mine.

This is a two stage dupont in Vail White (seemed appropriate based on where I live...)

I have never seen a better "bright white". It makes other cars either look off white or leaning towards more of a blue white.

Why change from light ivory? Dont go too white (ie.. appliance white). Steve

The perfect clor for your4 car is in the front trunk on a Ghia lable. If you use that color, it will be perfect period!

Dude,
get that sidemarker off of your fascia.

Looks like you also have a new JK, how do you like it? they are selling like crazy, my boss told me we only have a 2 day supply.

Maybe he is safety conscious.

here's my white 73.....

Here is white one I have for sale on pelican.

The side skirts are definitely going, as well as the rear spoiler, pin striping, and the blue paint on the Rivieras!

What's a JK??

i'll trade you my 914 for the MGB in the garage

imo there's no depth in white.
that being said, the most beautiful car color is "white"~ the LOA9 audi pearl white tri-coat. that's the only white i would consider, but it's an ivory.

In spring of 1999, I had my 74 Light Ivory repainted by Maaco [ ] a Ford truck color called "Ultra White". This was the brightest white I have seen. I believe the paint code is M6774A. I've attached two pictures, one just after the repaint, shot from a distance and the other was taken last year as the car was being dismantled. The second picture shows the difference between the original Light Ivory and the Ultra White.

When he said JK, he meant the new model Jeep Wrangler. JK is their internal model designation. just like 930, 951. If you look in the background of the post of the car with the side marker light on his fascia you can see a new jeep in the background.

Here is where I go when selecting an exact shade of an appliance color for my car.......
