I'm guessing you are looking for Glacier Frost Mica. Starfire Pearl and the older Crystal White are also metallic white paints, but GFM is the unusual one.

Actually, the GFM is a metallic paint, but the Starfire Pearl and Crystal White are pearls... meaning, they have a white base coat covered by a (in this case) metallic clear coat.

It makes putting on touch-up paint a PITA.
