Getting my car repainted.

I know that's kinda long from now but i wanna to get some ideas. i was originally gonna respray it OEM cadillac diamond white or ultrasonic blue. but i crossed the USB out cause i already seen another CL member with a USB 2010. if you guys with custom paint would post a picture of you custon paint, it would much be appreciated. and also if anyone with a know a friend or family member selling an flyaudio unit, can you contact me. thanks

oh man that platinum white look hot as hell. well at first i was gonna go with something OEM. but after seeing a few member with custom paint, i think i wanna do something unique. also i really want to repaint my car the right way by getting the whole car strip but im kinda scared. too risky to me. and thanks for helping me out. i know alot of members think i'm a phony because im a new member. but get use to seeing me around the board. and my cousin MrPhung is also on here with a all black is250 with black volk te37

about 40 min, and why would any members think youre phony? Everyones here to help man, this is a great car community. You'll make some friends here. Welcome to the club man. Post some pics of your car. also look into Vinyl wrapping your car. Its reversable and you can preserve the value of your car too, this one was wrapped in CF, I have my roof and interior and pillars wrapped with it as well.

I like the cream whites found on mini's. also, I like the brown metallic found on VW cars that looks like chocolate almost. and finally, depending on what look you're going for, there has been some talk lately about the "Tiffany's" light blue, which I think is a pretty nice looking blue...
