Default Thoughts on color atomic silver

Hey guys
So I own a SC 430 in midnight pine which is an amazing looking color. but today while at the gym I saw a RC350 in atomic silver, wow! Did this color look absolutely amazing!
What are your thoughts do you think atomic silver would complement our SC's well?
And if you guys were to consider repainting your entire car color would you stay with the same or go with a new flavor?
Look forward to reading your thoughts!
Happy New Year's eve!

I would always stay with the same color because almost the entire car is painted that color and to me a repainted car looks funny when you open a door, hood, trunk etc and you see a different color.
Plus the build codes do not match.

Now, if you really want to spend some serious money and do it the expensive way, sure, go for it.
Just my two cents!

Happy New Years!!!

I do think that the atomic silver is a good looking color on other Lexus cars. My personal preference was to stay away from silver, black or white when I purchased my 07 SC430. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I'm just stating my preference. Tiger eye micha is the color of my SC430. It looks great with the stock wheels and compliments the proportions of the car nicely.

Aren't we sick of silver yet? Every car on the road is silver! (slight exaggeration). Let's keep a little color in the world. Midnight Pine Pearl is a beautiful color.

Silver/gray, black, white, red seems to be 80% of the cars on the road anymore. I to enjoy seeing color on cars. It's been hard to find the cars we've wanted in color we wanted. That's one of the things I like in my jaguar, It's British racing green. I like the white gold crystal, but one of the other colors would've been nice.

Out of 655 sc430's on autotrader. 455 silver/gray, white, black, and red. Couldn't weed out the white gold crystal's that get classified as gold. So that 455 is actually a little higher than that. The number is probably somewhere around 500 in actuality. Let your midnight pine stand out.
