Default Repainting...need a colour

I might be repainting my whole car soon. I was thinking bright red or the stock black. Just how many LS400 did you see in red? I think it will look pretty dam cool!

I have been pondering the same questions, but for a different vehicle. I have a red NSX, and think that Honda reds are great. But I think a slightly darker red metalflake would look much better on the LS400, just much richer. Black is always a good color, but too many of them out there. Do something that will highlight the lines of the car. I personally think medium to darker metallic blues are beautiful on most any car. JMHO.

That is exactly the colour I was thinking about...rich, deep red...almost cherry but a little more red then that.

Yellow would be nasty...totaly race colour and it just stands out a little too much. My car is not for racing with those 19"s any more. Same goes for Lime Green or Baby Blue (which I think is totaly ghay).

Red would be awesome.
I once saw a Japanese LS in dark red metallic, it looked great!!
