Default Best white for GT3
Carrara White Metallic or White? Seem awfully close, but metallic one might show off curves more and seems brighter?

CUP cars are white, not metallic. Didn’t need more convincing than that

The base white is richer/warmer and has more depth ... Carrara is a more cold white.

It’s very hard to see the metallic in CWM. But it looks overall much more “cool
white” as opposed to the “warm white” of the base white color.

CWM all the way for me. I had a base white GT3 and always envied the color of the CWM cars.
