I love white the most. Though black looks the best when clean, white looks better overall. But since your going in for paint, iono maybe do something cool with the color? I just think the super flashy colors arnt meant for lexus, so im a plain old guy with plain old colors! WHITE!

Have you gotten a price on this yet??? It sounds like you want to change the color of your car. If so then be prepared to drop $$ 5000 to 7000$$ and possibly more if you want your motor pulled and engine bay sprayed to match. If You have been watching maaco commercials and believe the ambassador paint service for $299 is something you want, you can save yourself some time by finding the nearest trash can and deposit your hard earned money directly into it. Single-stage metallic aint hap'nin bro

But if you are serious and ready to spendy , go for a color that does not come on the GS. You also have to think about what will look good on the GS. Kandy tangerine is an amazing color to look at but it would look horrible on the GS.

Also what color is you car right now?

silver does really hide the dust well.

i would say if you were to respray the whole car why not get a custom color to something you like.

like a ivory pearl for the g35 or from another car just so u can stand out

just IMO!

If your looking for a simple clean look... Go with white.

But if you're looking to stand out candy apple red or blue!
