Satin White Pearl?

Is there any confirmation on what white the FR-S will have.

I heard talks its going to be a Satin Finish which means no Gloss.

I put money down on a FR-S pre-order in White, Now I'm hearing its going to be satin(just rumours far as I know).

I just want to clarify if this is the case or not, no one.

If its Satin Finish I want to change my pre-order to the orange or black.

Satin White Pearl is a current color offered by Subaru and it's a gloss finish.

Putting money down on a car that will come configured in ways you do not know: smart.

Only if they offered Star Fire Pearl...

Such an expensive but so stunning colour.


So hard to find a good pic

"true" white, FTW !!

pearl is for b!tches, old people, or luxury vehicles [ie- benz/bmw/caddy/etc]...

sports cars need to be real white; just think, carrera, lf-a, e92 m3, and many others in... PEARL white??? :ewww:

takes away from that awesome "clean" look the color white emits, imo...

i really wanted the brz, but swp is not the business :[

i will keep my fingers crossed that the whiteout color will be a clean white... then, i would not feel so bad about purchasing a scion, no offense to anyone, but i'm already 25 ~_~

Yeah I was never a fan of pearl white.

That's one of the reasons why I'd get red before white, on an FRS.

I'd love if it's satin.

I'll just have to see them in person I guess...

Don't look that pearly to me to be honest, I saw SWP up close on a Subaru the other day. I say it's a nice white my friendjust got a SWP I2012 mpreza, I like it and I'm standing by the statement that Whiteout is SWP.

I think depends on how the car is lit, sunlight brings out the pearl in the paint.

But that's a matte finish I think, it probably looks different in gloss? Or are they planning to bring out an OEM matte finish :O

It would be very cool if it's got matte finish but I don't think it does.
