Torn on color- regrets????
Morning all... depending on whether the GX470 enters our stable before or after the IS-F (giving me some time), I'm torn on color. I was sold on Mercury Metallic, but the Obsidian (even though I swore never black again) is really growing on me. Seems to pick up the wheels better and very stealth. And my IS was SGM, which I loved... also, will tint minimum 35%, perhaps 20%.
So, the post: any REGRETS on the color you chose?
Thx for the input....

My IS is Obsidian black and although I love the color when it is clean, it looks like SH@#T when it is dirty. The color shows every little scratch, chip, bird poo damage, swirl mark etc in the sun, so there is a lot of maintenance involved with keeping it looking clean. If I had to do it over again, I would get Starfire or Mercury Metallic, but I also like Matador Red.

I'm obsidian and the look clean outweighs the look when dirty for me. With my 20% windows and blacked out trim, I could not be happier with the look of the car....just depends on how much you like washing your car (all the time...) I guess

Have you seen my car?....lol
No regrets with SGM. Love that it can "wear" a little bit of dirt and still look pretty good and that it's fairly subtle. Combined the BBS wheels and the black pearl badging look nice on this color, imho.

You should get SGM for the IS F if you're torn between Obsidian and MM. It's not quite black, but you have the mica/metallic flake in the paint like MM.

Nothing beats a clean shinny black day or night. However, USB is one of a kind

No regrets. Obsidian is beautiful.
