09 Porsche pearl White Aston Martin Vantage

I finally found a Pearl white Vantage last year. I had heard that there was one kicking around. It was a stroke of luck when it came up for sale. The salesman at the dealership knew I was looking for a white Vantage so when he said he came across a Pearl white one I was pretty excited. I was even more excited when I found out it had a tan and white 2 tone interior. I debated on wheels for a while finally found a style I liked through BC Forged in Brushed Black. Loving the car couldnt be happier with it. Its hard to get pictures that do the color justice.

Not for everybody. The great thing about the car collectors world is the difference in style and opinion. But the general opinion on the car from lost people is beautiful. But then again I didn't buy for anybody but myself.

That picture makes it look like Morning Frost.

I've seen Pearl White listed as a 2008 color, but not a Porsche Pearl White

I've seen the pearl
White it's not a creamy white like mine. I'm still waiting on the original build sheet but I was told this was ordered with particular paint code.

There was one for sale in Colorado about a year ago that was a supposed one off creamy pearl with [my guess] gold pearl, looked alot like that last picture. Looks like it takes on a few shades depending on the light so it's a good possibility it was your color. It definitely wasn't anything I'd seen before.

Yah online I've seen a coupe that looks like the same color with black interior as well as a convertible. Once I get the build sheet I'll have more info. My friend has 1970 RSR wide body Porsche that cream white ( not pearl ). Dude by side the shade and and tint looks identical

Resurrecting an old thread.

This is a beautiful color - especially on a sunny day. If you ever need the paint code at a body shop, it is a DuPont paint, code AST1265D (confirmed by AML Gaydon) - and yes it is a Porsche paint - 'Pearl White'.

I've seen a few AM's painted in Porsche specific metallic colors. Both do metallic colors quite well.

I eventually wrapped my car in satin pearl white and put some Brixton Forged wheels in bronze. Then sold the car for a loss. The verdict is, the color is beautiful and i shouldn't have covered it up.

Yep, it’s beautiful as is...but you still did a really nice job with the wheels and black features. Sorry you sold it at a loss though...Someone got lucky!
