I went with the black my wife's FX is IP...I couldn't choose hahhaa

The black is haaaawt, until you encounter ANY dust, sigh. The OB's 'roun hrrrrr know my pain, but when you have her shiney I can't stop staring

The IP is an awesome color too, and certainly gives you a little more leeway between washes. Just not as evil

yeah i'm really having a hard to choosing between the two colors...but I was actually wondering if anyone had any suggestions other than the STOCK IP and OB....like is their any other paint codesfrom other cars that looks even better...like i've heard of people painting their car lambo white etc....or black pearl...although the G35 stock paint codes are pretty nice on their own...

$2500 to repaint your car black or white?
what shop are you getting your car painted?
are they taking out the engine and spraying the engine bay,
doorjams,etc etc.

what color is your car right now?

i think a good white color is ALPINE White on a BMW

Black is a nice classy color, can't go wrong with it, but it's incredibly high maintenance - black shows imperfections very easily.

If you want a nice color, that hides imperfections well, go with white.

Both are harder than other colors to maintain, but white is harder to spray, while black is easier to color match when you need repairs done.
