Default diamond white color help

today I've painted the underscore of my 3 door, it's the standard b3 diamond white, but it really isn't that white.
was a bit worried about when I get the car painted if I'm going to think it's too dull.

What you have to consider is how old is the original paintwork, how many times has it been polished etc. I had my front and rear bumpers on my 1990 2wd Saff in diamond white repainted recently and the painter told me if he had just used the " correct diamond white " it would not have colour matched the rest of the cars original paint.He mixed it himself and I am very happy with the result as I didnt want it to look glaringly obvious it had new paint. Diamond White is a tricky one to get right is what he said.

Mines having a full respray so color matching isn't a problem. To be honest now it's fully dry the color is whiter than first thought.

Sounds like a good result then.
