The only research that I've seen that successfully involved white paint to delay bloom involved painting all the wood, including the small bud wood which I suspect is most important of all. White paint on the trunk seems to be mostly about protecting from southwest injury but I'm not at all sure it would be helpful in protecting apricots from being killed by fluctuating temps in early spring. Show me the research!
