What Is A Good Lexus Colour?

[MeisterR]

Okay guys, doing a bit of work on my SC430 and I am looking for some opinion out there.

The car will be in for a compete repaint, and that mean I get to choose any colour that I want.

The problem is.... don't know what colour I want.

The best colour I have found seems to be the Starfire Pearl White off the newer Lexus.

I do want a pearl white, but it is a very difficult colour as there are so many shade... especially those creamy yellow shade that I don't really like.

Any idea for a striking colour, yet subtle and sophisticated?

Or I can just chrome vinyl wrap the entire car... that would be striking enough!

Please don't go for the chrome wrap!

Yep the pearl white (arctic pearl) or caspian sky (one of my favourite colours) are the two I'd choose between. Although does it have to be lexus paint? Aston Martin do a really nice pearl white on the V8 Vantage........

chrome wrap=crap.

white would be my choice

[MeisterR]

Aston Martin do a really nice pearl white on the V8 Vantage........

Tell me more. :)

So far the best pearl white I find is the Starfire Pearl White From Lexus.

I don't need it to be a Lexus colour, but that seems to be the only Pearl White that is actually white, but you can see the pearl in it.

Alot of white pearl white just hide all the pearl, so it looks like a flat white. Other one turn creamy colour and I hate that. :(

White is very smart, yes. My IS 300 is Chamonix White, not the pearl colour you're looking for, but very smart nontheless.

The Aston colour might be "Metallic Morning Frost White".

[Parthiban]

I actually don't have a clue what the colour is, so Steve's guess above is the best I've got. I'll have a look though and see if I can figure out what colour it is, only know I've seen it a few times and it looks great, especially in the sun :)

white = always dirty lol

my favourite colour was my granite sky is200 and the scratches and dirt didn't show as much as on other colours

or i could wrap it in 3m di-noc carbon fibre!! lol

would be pretty expensive tho!!!

Went down to a lexus dealer earlier to look at a few colour in person.

Looks like the Artic Pearl White (077) doesn't look bad at all.

In USA it is call the StarFire Pearl White (077) so we got a different name, but the colour code is the same.

Not a bad colour at all... anyone got a few pictures of their IS/GS in the flesh with that colour?

Would be good to get some owners opinion on that colour also.

the new ISF red is my choice all day long

i was going to paint my car aston martin white but paint cost around 600 pounds

[Stacey5426]

I love the white, and if my OH will let me im tempted to give mine a re-spray

[Parthiban]

The 2007 Pebble Beach edition was arctic pearl and it looked fantastic, I remember seeing one at the dealers when I was on holiday in Canada and loved it with the red leather interior and the piano black dash.........

[MeisterR]

Yep, both the Artic Pearl / Starfire Pearl is the same colour (077)

Looks like it will be the colour I am going for, couldn't find another colour that is as nice.

But any other suggestion are welcome. :)

[Parthiban]

I think the morning frost is the aston colour I was talking about, hard to tell in pics but it does look quite good as well

I actually really like caspian sky as well, but can understand it's not to everyone's tastes

the white is good maybe worth a look at tvr colour chart they have colours that seem a little bit diffrent also may sound cheap but your local Halfords store will mix any colour as will many places so you can basicly pick your own colour you can in some cases name the colour there is a astra coupe near me with a white with gold flakes in it when clean polished its amazing i was going take pic but have not seen car for couple weeks ok hope this helped you think as respray done correct not cheap goodluck remember post pics when done always nice to see others hard work
