Default Classic Impreza, Different shades of White

From what I can gather, there are 2 shades of white for the classic impreza. 230 White and feather white ? Is this correct ?

If so, does anyone know which one is the lightest of the two. I`ve bought a couple of second hand panels recently and they are slightly brighter than the panels I already have. Don`t want to make the same mistake again and my car is still in the garage so I cannot check the code.

Any help whould be great.

You need to have a positive match off your paint code m8

Yeah, I have noticed that. Have been quoted approx £1,500 for a full respray in the same colour but there's no way I can afford that this year.

Just been going through some photos and found one that inlcudes the ident plate;



Looks like it`s 230 after all but paints4u say it`s pure white and not feather white

easiest way to cure it is a spray-job unfortunately, a good machine polish can help though......

There are 3 Shades of 230 white !!!!!!

a yellowy one, yellow tindge one and the white one

have had a few parts sprayed so have learnt the hard way,always ask for the whitest 230 feather as i had one made up where it was the darkest/yellow one and i had to re-order.
