White Paint

Is Alpine White less likely to show scratches?

I park my car in a shared driveway and there are these leaves from a bush sticking out and sometime when I drive into the driveway I think it brushes my car. Is this bad for the paint?

Branches brushing your car will scratch the car, so yes it's bad for your paint the degree of damage they do is something only you can judge.

White tends to show imperfections less than darker colors.

Yes, like the post above it is visually harder to see on light colors as opposed to darker colors. It ruins your paint but it can be corrected. Cut the brushes haha.
