Touch up spray-paint for pearl white...

I have a 2k2 Pearl white.. I think its called glacier pearl or something. i have too good size scrapes on the bottom of the front bumper, they are not visible usually but it still bothers me. It is black because the paint on those spots have been completely scraped off from when the previouse owner parked up on a curb or something (which is why i stay away from the curb at all times..there's no need to pull up so close until the front wheels hit the curb...its a bad habit) anyway, i sanded and primed the spots and then sanded again, now its ready for some touch up spray paint. What is the closest thing that some of you Glacier pearl owners have bought..? i dont necessarily need a perfect match, but some of the whites i've come across are OFF big time... and yes i know Pearl is a 3 stage process.. so there can never be a perfect match.. but does anyone know the closest spray can pearl paint?

The dealer paint comes out looking to much like silver. Try www.paintscratch.com
They are pricey but it matches. The glaicer pearly base coat almost looks like a tan color. They aslo sell spray paint.

So the glacier pearl touch-up paint I just ordered from Nissan will look silver? I don't get it.

Don't use the Nissan touch up paint from the dealership. It is terrible and doesn't even come close to matching. I used it and glad I did just for oxidation/rust reasons but the color is way off just as a word of caution.

I agree with cefiro80. The Nissan paint is way off in colour. To get the Pearl White to match is not easy so expect to pay someone to do it.

Even if the paint is off color, it'd probably still look better than the scrape
