Okay, so I've had my Lexus for awhile now and I finally have enough time to give it a new paint job. I don't know what color to paint it. Most people are telling me to go with Black, but I don't really want to. Thinking about white with carbon fiber hood ? Or something white with black hood. I need some suggestions on what colors to paint it. Please and Thank you.

Welcome Leenie, I strongly advise you use the forum search tool to get answers to questions you might have as you are getting started here. Most everything you can get instant answers to, no waiting.

For example I found these by searching for paint or repaint in the thread title field and pointing at the SC forum

My car is already pearlwhite hunnie. And the paint is chipping. Sadly. Im very tired of the white color. I want a custom colorthat defines me. But nothing that will draw too much attention to me.

 

There is this color I've seen on the newer IS350's that looks like a blueish white. I'm not sure what it's called, but it was really nice. It might be Starfire Pearl, but I'm not sure. It blew me away when I saw it though.

Black is a good choice and Garnet Pearl from the 92-94 SC's is really nice as well.

 

Burnt orange metallic, or Deep Water Blue Pearlcoat. The same color as my truck in my sig...LOL

 

After looking it up on Lexus' website, it's definitely Glacier Frost Mica. You might want to check it out.

 

Hrmm. Im not really a bluee fan. But the color black is creeping up on me. Or something of a silver. I saw it on another forum that someone else just sent me. Looks very nice. But still iffy. The candy apple red looks really nice also. But my paint is going to be cheap because i know this guy. But deciding officially what color is difficult.

 

Also, as weird as it might sound. Im trying to steer away from the pearl base color of my repaint. I dont really like it. So to phase 1 !

 

if i was to repaint a car, id wanna do something that is obviously not oem, and something rare, maybe a gun metal blue?
