Is this going to be a total strip down and disassembled paint job (including motor and interior)? If not I would stick to factory color or something close, IMO, if the engine compartment or anything else is not color matched it will look tacky (specially in a lexus).

Why changed the color of your car? I know it's yours, and to each his own, but your car looks pretty nice as it is......

A pearl white with a second hue, like red or blue or even the New IS color, that Glacier Frost Mica.

I think it would look sick in a graphite or dark silver color. I think there was a stock lexus color like that but not sure what the code is or anything

Yes thank you Chuck. Flint Mica or something maybe a bit darker would be very unique
