Go to this site and find what the color of your car is:

http://www.toyotareference.com/lexussc

I vote MKIV Supra Quicksilver.

i would also keep the car its original color no matter which color that may be... make it work lol... unless ur gunna take ur engine out and remove all the windows, paint door jams etc. who cares about value!?!?! to me it matters more the fact that ur gunna open ur door/hood/trunk and its gunna be a different color.

and teal is a bad *** color... my grandma has a car thats teal and that sh* T looks legit (JK)

door jambs, trunk jamb yes..but who wants to see what your grandma got under the hood, probably the same thing you and i do, that is why we are going to paint under the hood of my car when the engine comes out in the winter.

It's a close friend body shop that does oem quality paint. For $1500 door jams and trunk will be painted. As far as color I'm kinda stuck between star fire pearl or the royal sapphire pearl. I don't care about car value I don't Lyk the color so I'm going to change it.

there is a member here that did a hot chocolate brown, from the mini clubman I think it turned out nice, and not one that people see around.

I think you'd like the color better if the car was lowered with some better looking wheels like polished TT's . It honestly made me fall in love with the car because initially it looked like a grandpa ride.

I say make the teal work for you. If not try a differnt shade of teal. Too many silver,white,black, and red/burgandy done up. For instance if I were to repaint my Sandstone paint I would paint it in a different shade of champagne like that champagne with a rose pearl on the SC430

Starfire Pearl is an awesome color. RSP is very nice too.

I would pick Starfire Pearl since I've only seen it on an SC once and it looked great.

Cream? like Wu-Tang C.R.E.A.M.?

Just asking, becuase its called Quicksilver. If I repaint my SC I will most likely go with this Quicksilver. Simple transition from Millenium Silver Metallic.
