white paint?

I have been experimenting with white cone 6 oxidation recipes with the
hope of finding one that is totally opaque, shiney and bright white. I
would like to use it for a liner glaze for mugs and food-ware. I have
gotten close with my tests but they still aren't like white paint.
Does anyone have one they would share with me. I would gladly send
some of my semi-opaque recipes in exchange. Thanks & best to you all.
