Going to be painting my car

roadmaster_Tx,

The "Thread Tools" link at the top of the page should have the option to add/edit a poll. I think that's available to you as the thread starter, but I can't be sure as my login has moderator privileges attached to it, so I may be seeing options that you don't have.

I would (just me) a really really dark mettalic blue like its so dark that at first you cant really tell if its black or blue, but at the right angles you can really see the blue... but thats just my .02

I couldnt agree more. That candy-apple is an amazing color but no way will it look good on a newer Lexus. Please stick with Black

Ok, what do you guy think of this color, I wanted to add this to the poll but didnt know how to, so here goes

I still couldn't picture a relatively conservative mid 90's Asian car with that color. Black is the only way to go for that car, IMO.

That color is better but Devilsown nailed it...I bet the dark metallic would be very nice too.

someone liked my thoughts

Who am I to argue with an Air Force guy? Same reason why I dont argue with my father! I just think those candy colors do not belong on a car with that style. They look great on old cars (custom street rods and some muscle cars) but I can not picture that color on a Lexus...unless your going to put a huge wing, a rediculous body kit, street glow and a tach the size of Flavor-Flave's clock on it too!

What are you going to do in the jambs and the engine bay if you go with the red?

Removing doors, hood, trunk, sunroof, and engine (99% dont remove the engine is the original color is black) is seriously time consuming and expensive.

In addition, if you do a color change, you have to change the title and registration.

Unless it is for a show car, I'd avoid a color change like the plague.

Well, I did plan on taking putting the car in a show, but nothing serious, just for fun. As far as the doorjams etc I i Do a repaint I will be painting them too but Im not taking out the engine, or the carpet in the car etc. Since it is a old car, I doubt that its gonna effect its resale value.
But if I do black its gonna be much cheaper, much easier to do(do not have to do the doorjams) as compared to candy
Maybe I could go with a black like on the new BMW 6 series, its kinda metallic.

Hit em' with the black it always looks bada$$

Black with blacked out trim and the dark wheels will look great.
