Default What color should I paint my es300? (pic)

I am thinking about getting my es painted but can't decide if I should stick with my old color or try something new possibly red. What do you guys think?

Is that black? If so, leave it as is. Get some black headlights from Japan!

Yeah black is hard to keep clean, I know I have black cars. But an ES in black in more rare. Just paint the grey section black.

Wow that cheap.... yea I would def go that route even just to try.... how long does or is it expected to last? Damn all the way in ottawa... possibly worth the 6 hour drive...
Side note... all black car with black rims can look classy and not ghetto all the time although what Im talking about is glossy black paint job and matte black finish on the rims.
