Ugh. I know how you feel. It's been raining/snowing here on and off for the past two months and I'm just wishing that it would go away. My baby is filthy.

Default White but ragged... :(

...when I purchased my lexus, I fell in love with the beautiful snow white color with those wonderful little specks glowing in the sunshine!! (pearl white), but going on seven years in the south florida sun and wear/tear/dings sustained throughout the years, it is quite dull and peeled off in some parts of the front and rear bumpers, etc (not to mention the nasty ding on the door!)

How in the world am I going to be able to get a paint job and get the same color??? (without paying major $$$$ for custom)?? I cant settle for just plain white... it'll look like a refridgerator! for that, I'd have to switch for plain black at that point. (rather have black if I cant get my beautiful pearl white again).

Is it possible to get the same original paint??

car is still in great shape otherwise and I cant afford a new one...I like not paying a car payment for a while

^^ Nice GS. I don't exactly like the kit you have on it though. It's a little too much for me. The interior is sweet though, aside from the pedals and the steering wheel cover.

Sure is. My car had the front end resprayed a while ago and somebody decided to mess it up again. Just get the paint code and you'll be all set.

How many different types of white are there for the 2GS? I think I remember reading about 3 different whites. I have a 98 GS400 so I think thats the DWP (diamond white pearl), correct? It seems a bit yellow even though the car has always been garaged and babied. I wanna get it repainted so that it looks super white.
