Digi 224009 is called balloon white poly, or white mica. The base coat is mainly t400 white with a very small amount of other tints. The mid coat is T453 white pearl, there a no other tints in the mid coat.

Guess I always thought Bianco Isis was balloon white
They've been calling murcie-me's car balloon white but it never looked pearl to me, maybe it's just the pictures. You can usually tell a big difference though..

I just looked up the 0060 code. It was used 2000 -2004. The color has no metallic, it is just white. For 1 gallon  t400 white- 5152.7 parts, t404 black- 29.5 parts, t415 blue 3.8 parts. This is just plain Lamborghini white, nothing too special, no pearl. Our PPG formula computer only showed main layer.

Balloon white is pearl white Balloon White Paint code on car : PPG 224009 - PPG code : 224009 this is a Tri-Coat paint. The actual bright white color is Bianco Isis Paint code on car : LAMBOR-0060 - PPG code : 0060 made on 2000+ year Lamborghini's


The pearl color is either a silver or white. But make sure if you custom mix that you get the exact amount added just for touchup reasons

What Pearl is used in Lamborghini Balloon white?

Is it silver pearl or white pearl? Or maybe something else?

I heard the new Cadillacs use silver pearl in their pearl white cars and those look nice.  But it's just what i've heard. Thanks.
