my dad painted a S1 for someone on this site (mrs1, i think his name is) and that was PROPER white. It hurts your eyes when ya look at it in the sun. Very nice and clean colour, better than diamond IMO.

Mine is called 'Base white'
Nothing added to it,its the white they use at base level before mixing in the other paints for the different 'off' white colours

Front end is spot on
Morettes make it easy to line up

Ginge - Whitest white you can get is super white.

Made by ICI The code is p425-900.

Made by PPG the code is D700.

These both are made from nothing but clear resins and white pigment. No tinters or shading added.

You will not get a brighter colour.

i suspect, the BRIGHTEST shade of white, is the white of Dingys arse cheeks... when he pulls down his pants and bends over for yet another NMS tattoo on his backside!
