the MATTE PEARL WHITE is gorgeous...I would love the paint code on that.
sorry for the hijack...but..
are you guys saying all you need for that look is paint the car but instead of a regular "shiny" clear coat, you tell your paint guy to spray it with a matte or satin finish clear coat?

The Bianco Isis paint code is 0060
If you have someone spraying you a test panel have them make that color than use a semi-gloss clear coat to create the matte finish which should simulate the Bianco Canopos you are looking for.
If I come across the exact code I will be sure to let you know.
I hope this helps.
Also, if it is the Pearl White you are looking for (Balloon White) it will be a different paint code. Let me know if you want that one.

^ thanks for the heads up man, yea I'll do exactly what you said. Get the shop to paint two test panels, one bianco and one balloon white
I think this is the code for Balloon White PPG 224009 if I'm not mistaken. And yes I'm looking for a pearl white as opposed to a regular white. Exactly like this color right here, some better pictures.

So are you painting your G35 that color? What shop in Canada is doing your work?

newbie here just wondering if I could bug you Lambo experts for the color code for that Matte or Flat white the new Gallardo LP560 has. I've been lookin all over the net I can't find it.
Quick question as well, would regular Lambo White (or Balloon White if I'm not mistaken) that comes on the LP640's minus the clear coat come fresh out the paint shop the same as this matte white on the 560 ??
here's a pic of what I'm talking about.
