Im repainting my car after some m:mad: therf:mad: c:mad: :mad: r kicked my rear quarterpanel a few times, and need some input as to what color should I get? My car currently is tri coat white......
 
I have Medium Charcoal Green FT and I've been told that it is pretty rare for an LS. I really like it a lot cuz its not black (most common and best looking IMO) but it looks like it is when its dark out...plus its like the factory version of "candy paint" like someone else had stated...

Even though I think black looks better I'm more into individuality...thats why I like my color...
 
Whatever color you choose, get a LOT of coats of clearcoat.
 
No black (everyone is doing it); no white (too hard to maintain); "vivid" colors are too much after a while and you will get tired of them; pick a neutral color such as a charcoal, a muted green, or a silver. IMHO.
 
Do a two tone it would look awsome and totally custom. I have a silver and want to two tone it with black.
 
i got the medium charcoal green and i love it. at night everyone thinks my car is black. and during the day its green with red and blue flakes. but if the clouds are out and theres no sun it looks greyish green.
 
Yes, Sir! Now, that's a classy color! Nice looking LS, BTW. What all have you done to it?
 
Try "Aqua Blue".

aqua blue is the color i got too, it looks great try it... or go yellow, like the type R has... u never know maybe it would look nice on the LS
 
Well the color choice is in, BLACK with copper pearl, its going to look something like this, but keep in mind that on this picture they used flake, but it will give off a similar effect. I will have pics when I paint my car in the coming week.

I will post my pics tomorrow when I slap on the new 20's. I went with a two tone paint job. House of Kolor Candy Tangerine and Jet Black.
 
What ever you decide, remember that with a color change, you will have to re-paint the engine compartment and door jams, under the hood and trunk. And even then you will still have original color inside the interior moldings and trunk floor.:)
 
isnt that dannys car on cardomain? two town with candy and black?
 
I've always liked Charcoal and Silver. Black shows way too much, but when you get it clean, it's the best you can get!
