they dont close threads on here due to no activity......least not in the GS section. there are some open threads from the beginnings of this board when they switched over from the old boards. look at my last link, i posted a link to the black cherry, im pretty sure that is your red color

I am also interested in getting my car painted, but consider the amount of money for the paint job. It's like almost buying another use GS. Pl update us after the paint job done. Good luck with your new paint job.

it is a good looking color when cleaned up but not my fav.....i like Mystic Sea Opalescent for a OEM Lexus color

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...gs-owners.html


or spectra blue mica

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...s-arrived.html

or the final shots

if i had the cash for a proper paintjob though i would do a very subtle color though, nothing that is hard to clean or match but something probably boring to most

Graphite grey pearl. I get lots of compliments on the color and most of them are surprised by the fact that its OEM paint. Very common on IS300's though
