Sometimes with white I mix a very little bit of blue in, and if it is shiny you can but a flat clear coat on it.

Dan;
To make 1/35 scale white, especially for uniforms and camo I like to add in a little buff XF-57(Tamiya) and it tones it down and "softens" it enough to look correct. Hope this helps. Cheers
