I personally have a Nightfall Mica, and tbh, it's very similar to a black car. The maintenance on that color is quite high, as most scratches will show. Keep in mind I already paint corrected mine, PPF'd it and ceramic coated it. Nevertheless, any imperfections will show. After cleaning my car (which is once a week), just after one drive, I'll be able to see the dust on it.
Despite the high maintenance, when clean, the color is just beautiful as it somewhat changes hues under different lighting - even has some shades of purple at times.
I had an Ultra White LC, easy to care for. My RX is Atomic Silver, again easy. I now have a Infrared LC and it looks good so far (200 miles all be it)
But off point here for a second, Guanche2k9, please share your wheels, they look awesome!

Dang these wheels look great! Did you have to lower the car at all to get that aggressive stance? Any other modifications done to the car? Please share!

something seriously off with white balance at least on that pic.
this is closer but i still don't think your car looks this 'purple'. at least the sky isn't

There's probably a filter on that - I'm not a photoshop guy. Had a friend "touch it up". Apologies for that.

Car is in fact lowered on RSR Ti2000 springs and a full Novel lip kit painted in gloss black.

Wheels are BC Forged HCS21 S 2 piece wheels on a staggered setup (21 x 9.5 front and 21 x 11.5 rear)
I have the Infrared and it is a swirl/scratch magnet --- not sure what it is about the paint that Lexus uses but I've never seen colored paint that is THIS difficult to maintain.
Even when using paper towels or completely new high quality washrags, the paint swirls easily. I took my car to get a $700 detailing job and they got most but not all of the swirls out and I've had the hardest time keeping it swirl free since then. That said, Infrared really does pop in the sun and at the right angles (where you don't see the swirls), it's quite stunning.
I remember previously I owned an Inigoink ( dark blue）SC 430
and it was like owing a Black car, the car had 2 go through
a 2 bucket car wash and it swirl easily.
What do you guys think of the atomic silver ? That is another
color I am considering.. love the Infra red but might be too
much work
