Question Anyone regret getting Ivory Pearl?

I'm undecided on the paint color I want - right now it's a toss up between Ivory Pearl and Laser Red. My current car is Silver so I'm trying to stay away from silver and graphite. Black looks great but I'm too **** to have a black car, I'd be washing it hourly . I'm not normally a huge fan of white but since it's also pearl I think that really sets it off. I also have a '68 Mustang that is off white so they would go nicely together

With that said, any regrets? Anything else I should take into consideration with IP? I would be fine with either Stone or Graphite interior.

Both are nice colors. I'd say white has alot more to work with though, especially when it comes to body mods like rims, carbon fiber, etc.

IP is a great color.

It does not blend in with the surroundings like some other colors do.

shows off all the lines.

No matter what kit you put on it. It looks good.

Easy to clean. Hides scratches.

Great choice over all.

Laser Red has the most issues with chipping. There have been a number of owners that had their cars repainted through Infiniti due to the weak paint. Do a search on Laser Red.

No regrets on chosing IP from me. I love the color and it sets off the G perfectly. Nice Mustang btw.

IP is a great color. The pearl flakes make the car look just as good, if not better, at night as it does during the day, and the paint really makes the car's lines stand out. Also, it 'seems' like there are fewer IPs on the road.

The only two bad things to watch out for with IP are:
- its a b#$%t to color match if you ever need paint work
- the rear end of the coupe picks up a lot of dust and this really shows on an IP (not a big deal if you wash the car regularly).

Laser red is a good color too, but if you leave the rear tailights stock, there's almost too much 'redness' at the rear of the car.

Try having DG paintmatched. :/ No one does it right.

I swore I hated "white" cars until I saw the G in IP. With enough layers of wax it really glows day and night. I would have gotten the red if it had some kind of pearl in it. I was really disappointed when I got to the dealership and saw the red in person. However, Time attacks and the right rims look amazing on lazer red.

Have you given any thought to what kind of mods you would be doing?
That might help with the decision.


I'm biased.
