If you are going to sell it, I would leave it alone. It will be more $ that you won't recoup and buyers will always wonder the "real" reason why you had to repaint even if there was none.

if you do decide on painting it, why not go with that charcoal grey/brown color that I see on the IS300's (not sure what the actually name of the color is ).

DO NOT PAINT. SILVER LOOKS GREAT!

Car looks really good as is.

SAve the $$. Invest it and in 30 years you'll have 100K from this money alone.

My thoughts exactly! If you must spend the money, save it for mods to the next car.

Personally I wouldnt waste your money and paint it. Keep it silver. Black is a pain in the a$$ to keep clean.

Don't re-paint the car, especially u're planning to get rid of it in the near future.
BTW......i think those 7-inch monitors are too big for ur headrests.

i agree, if you are to sell it, just get a good detailing job done and that would be more than enough
