prices vary throughout the country, instead of making a million new threads like you're doing just use the search function... and as color, that's like asking what the best deodorant is.

my paintjob was 6k, changed color, added 3 grams per ounce of pearl, painted/blended all jams & took appart everything to ensure full covereage with no flaking. took 42 days from start to finish.

I say if you paint it then go a non oem color or a cool oem color but add a twist to it, change up the toners & add in some pearl or metalic flake, that's what I did, my base was emerald mist, added blue/teal toner, added in 3 grams per ounce of galaxy blue pearl (lexus) and a lexus clearcoat that is suposed to be stronger than our infiniti clear coat.

Then you should do so.

This is going to vary from what kind of paint you like. Lambo White is WAY more expensive than M3 Alpine White. It can range from anywhere to $4k to $12k.

Here's an idea, why don't you pick a color that YOU like.

Please don't get OEM color. I see no point in spending $5k to switch to another OEM color (a lot of people do this...)

I'd say IS-F blue (or close to that shade):

or
Charcoal/Dark Grey:


This type of orange:


all look sick and aren't common in G community.

Go to different dealerships and look at the cars and see what you like or do a custom color
