Quite a bit, Diamond White Pearl is a cream color where Crystal White is closer to pure white, if you you mix them on the same car you will know it big time.

Very different. DWP has more of a real pearl color where as Crystal White is not quite a pearl color, but white with metallic flakes. I have a Diamond White Pearl 051 99 Solara SE V6 Manual, and a Crystal White 062 04 RX330...you can definitely tell the difference in depth/shade of white in color between the two cars.

yup they are right. let's just say it's so obvious that you can even tell the difference if you don't put the two colors together

LOL - no, unfortunately not. My car is 051 and he is painting my new body kit as we speak. I had ordered an L-Tuned grill from another member here and I didn't think it was going to arrive on time to be painted. So, I wanted to see if it would be a big color difference.

Thankfully my paint guy said he is in no rush so we could wait for the grill to arrive so he could paint that too. Well, it arrived about 2 hours ago so I am about to drop my son off and then bring the grill to him.

Everything should be put on Tues hopefully

Will post pics,

Jonny
