Close up ultra white shots?
Anyone got any close up pictures of the ULTRA WHITE? It says the paint is metallic but all the ones near me are black!! Would really like to see the flake pop or something.

Yes it's metallic, if you look close it almost has that sparkle or something like if you were to add diamond dust to white paint, that's the close up look of it. Hard to see on a photo

As far as I know, it is not a metallic but rather a glass flake. I have yet to see it up close and personal as well but have one ordered. My dealer has never sold any model F-Sport in Ultra White so they are curious as well.

They are both stated as metallic in the brochure. Its definitely got some kind of flake in it because it shows up slightly differently in different pictures.

Glass flake is a good term to describe it. In fact, Lexus Japan calls this color White Nova Glass Flake.

hmmm really? I thought Starfire Pearl was the metallic one while Ultra White was "shiny flat white" - a "pure" white a super shiny clear coat on it, much like Obsidian is (vs Stargazer Black which has the metallic flakes like SFP).

Nice closeups that show the flakes. I learned something new today!
It's unfortunate about the stains. I'd suggest you start a new thread on this as this may be a common problem and perhaps something Lexus should be aware of.

I noticed also that my Ultra White stains easily! I had some purple bird poop on the roof for maybe a day out in the sun and I had it washed today and it left a purple stain that won't come out.. It's very small but still..

argh...
My mothers CT has "rust" stains near the wheel well on her starfire pearl less than a week off the lot and they took care of it. =)
take it to the dealer asap so they have less time to blame it on "road conditions" =)
Good luck peeps...
