I want to paint my new female human team with a nice white uniform. I want that they look clean, pure, beautiful...

could anybody please give some advice about how to paint in white?

Well, I'm sure there are people here with better advice, but something I've recently discovered that works for me is to paint a undercoat of a light grey or off white (I use Elf Grey), and then highlight with pure white. The Elf Grey doesn't look dirty, but does make it appear to be shaded in the rescessed areas.

Depends of your technic but a light blue is also a good idea. It's a bit brighter than grey I think.

For crisp, clean white, use a basecoat of Elf Grey (yes, that colour's out of production now...) or Ghostly Grey (erm, that one's also out of production). You can use a 50/50 mix of Space Wolf grey and white as a substitute... Highlight it by mixing more and more skull white to the original colour and blending it onto the lower layer and you'll get a white that looks bright!
