2 pages of Blue Slate praise and you end up deciding on graphite or IP
LOL
It was a super hard decision for me as well, but I'm happy I waited the dreaded wait and got my first choice.
Graphite was my second choice but the more I saw them,the more I realized that I kept thinking it was an Altima, due to that color.
IP.... just too many around here.
The Blue Slate is getting to be really popular now as well.

Platinum Graphite 08
Ijust purchased a 2008 G35 in Platinum Graphite. I wanted the Blue Slate, but when I saw the Platinum Graphite I was amazed at how good it looks. They are both awesome colors on the car and it was a hard choice. I went with the graphite color because I thought it looked a sharper and it hid dust/dirt easier when I put mud on the car (sals guy loved that).
Either way you can't go wrong though. They both look nice day and nighttime, when the sun goes down on it.

I have never owned a black car, but my previous vehicle was a 2005 G35 Sedan in Diamond Graphite. The DG was so much easier to take care of than the Blue Slate. You can see dirt and scratches easily. On the other end of it, the color is quite unique and beautiful. I am glad that I didn't get the same Diamond Graphite aka Platinum Graphite, which was my second choice.

I like the blue slate, but will go back to black on my next car.

Repair: I've had luck w/ Meguires Scratch X. I'm sure others have suggestions as well
