Wow -- getting the car painted tomorrow and you're not sure what color you want? Hmm. Maybe you wanna give it a week so you're sure of your decision...?

Maybe its an OEM Lexus color but from a different model and year...? Either way, can't you color-match to the inside of the trunk, door, or floor to get back to your car's OEM color?

Question, though, do you really need/want to get back to the OEM color? You have an opportunity not many of us get to paint your car whatever color you want! Carpe diem, man!
