yea went to find local dealers of tamiya paint and one shop actually said "sorry we dont carry spray paint" and i called their RC department too...............but i bought a can of universal black spray paint. probably gonna sand some of the gold off then spray some light coats.

i am ready to do this..but got one question on taking off the emblems...the big L logo/emblem at the back of the 2IS is not on a flat surface like the IS350 or Lexus emblems...so how do i take it out??
here is a pic i found on google...
can't really see it clearly but the L emblem is placed on a shallow hole..

This coming weekend, I'm gonna paint mine. Except, I've dremel-sanded the gold off of them and cleaned them up well. Painting them a smoky/gunmetal color and gonna go nuts with the clear coat. Suggestions on a good adhesive for replacing them???
