In 2008 or 2009, it seemed like every other car at SEMA seemed to be sporting a flat paint job. And while we think a matte finish can look great on the right ride, we prefer our show cars on the flashy side. And SEMA never disappoints!


Case in point? The Chameleon paint job on VIP Auto Salon’s IS 350C. While we wouldn’t want to deal with the upkeep, this looks wicked, and it’s a shame we’ll only see it on the show floor. You know that it has to pop in the sun! Check out a couple more pics and the full specs below, and stay tuned coverage from Vegas.
