Matte black = Honda. Get the paint code for the actual black that comes on the Cobalt and throw like a SBO flake in there.

Pearl white would look pretty sick. That being said, you'd have to get creative with it. All the "usual" places people get painted on their cars would be a bitch to keep clean if it were white.

I don't want to get in to a pissing contest with you. All I know is my 76' vette was white and it was a PITA to keep clean.
