I know this isn't technically the correct forum to post in but I thought this would get a lot more feedback then it would in the ES forum. But anyways my car is at the body shop right now because I had it painted last summer and I have a few issues such as paint peeling and some rough spots so I brought it back to have him fix the issues. I originally had told him to paint the car back to oem colors and he did so but he sprayed the bottom half of the car with the pearl coat also and I love the way it looks, so when I brought it back to fix the issues he said he would do it but now he calls saying he can't match the paint so I need to pick a different color and he will do it at no charge. So heres a few pictures of the car, one at oem color, and one at the color it is at the moment. I'd like to stick with a color similar to what it is now! So any suggestions are appreciated, and ones with pictures showing the color are even more appreciated

if he cant do it all white for u i would do the bottom half grey... and get gun metla rims... i dont know why but i just like how that looks.

edit... paint ur wheels the same color as the bottom half

Thanks for the suggestions. I originally wanted to paint the bottom pearl white and I could but I'm afraid that it won't match, seeing as the car is 11 years old I'm sure the sun has had some effect on the paint. Part of the reason I like the current color so much is because it matches the color of my wheels, which aren't shown in the picture I posted. The ones on my car are actually the sc430 wheels so it matches well. But I know i'm gonna go with some sort of silver. Maybe the LS 460 Mercury Metallic? Here is a picture of my car as it sits now

They way u have it now is very clean and not too eye popping which for me is a good thing. Just see if you can keep it the same way and youll be fine

I really love seeing the G35's pearl white metallic or something with gold rims.. I wonder how it'd look on Lexus'...

The bodyshop said he wouldn't be able to match the same bottom color as it is now. He said it could possibly come out as a different shade, maybe more white or darker silver. I think I'll go with the LS 460 Mercury metallic. Thanks for the help guys

@kingphilip I'm probably gonna avoid painting the bottom white because it most likely wont match. But I do love pearl white
