I would say a metallic black color of some sort. spectra blue. and my favorite gunmental graphite pearl. I think one member here has that color. Looks good in the day time, you can see those flakes poppin and at night a very glossy look.

well my car is Graphite greay pearl, i have to say i probably wouldn't paint it any other color, I have had a green GS, a Silver GS, and i like this color the best


if i had to paint a GS a OEM color, I do like the IS-F blue,

but you said your looking for a red color that is bright with no flake..

I highly recommend "Absolutely Red" that comes on the IS300, it's not that common, It's such a nice bright red i think it really adds a sporty look to the 4 door..

couple of examples
