White Frost Tricoat vs Summit White

[Kellyo]

Looking to upgrade my '11 Summit White Tahoe to a '17 Yukon Denali. Test drove at dealer yesterday and they only had White Frost tricoat with options we wanted. I had planned on getting Summit White again b/c I really don't like cream or off-white of white diamond tricoat in the past. But the White Frost looks better than WDT I think. It's more of a TRUE White (with sparkles). However, I still worry about fading over time and getting a golden hue. Ultimately would prefer Summit White. Thoughts?

This is a slippery slope, as those that don't care for it as much are in a position of appearing to criticize a decision you may indeed make.

 

But you asked, so respectfully I offer my opinion. The "sparkley white" is awesome if the vehicle will belong to your wife or daughter. I agree it's technically beautiful, but it reminds me of a Barbie car.

 

For instance, Toyota offers a very close color option. One of my daughters' 4Runners is that color. It's also more expensive to paint -should that ever be needed - and difficult to touch up.

It's funny you should say that because I'm the wife in this scenario and will be the one driving the Yukon. My husband actually is okay with White Frost Tricoat. I need to tell him it's a "Barbie" color?.

According to Boardmember, tell your husband driving the Barbie color car will be ok as long as you tell everyone the truck belongs to you.

Keep a good coat of wax on it and don't worry about fading and/or yellowing.

 

Who really cares what other people think.

 

If you like it, go for it!

I knew I might be in trouble. I'm sorry. I have a wife and two girls. The dog's a girl. I'm seriously outnumbered and I can't help myself sometimes.

If it helps, my daughter's 2012 4Runner paint hasn't dulled or yellowed at all. And she only washes it occasionally. Busy, you know...

Thanks for all the input! Will probably just go with White Frost. Just don't want to pay extra for it. Hopefully they work with us?

I just got a 2017 LT with the WFT paint. I like arctic white trucks, but the wife says they look too much like plain old work trucks. She loved the pearlescent WFT, though, and approved the purchase. LOL

I love the tri coat.

Thanks Loco, I wash it quite a bit in the winter they collect water and there was a bit of dirt behind them. I call them shit catchers [emoji2]
