I'm going to paint my ISF pink and give it to my wife when I get a GTR or Gallardo. Something that starts with G, maybe a golf?

That cement color looks cool IMO.

Not vibing the color. It looks like the paint on my garage floor. I like the idea of wrapping to see if you really like the color. Changing your mind is a lot less costly.

I'm not a fan of that color but the dealer did a great job. Looks like a LOT of work though.

Exactly, if it makes you happy then that's all that matters. I love my Black on Black, but that's MO, and I pay for it in constant wash and waxes. Im not a Scion fan tho, so I would of just named the color (1H5) a kickass name!

Cheers,

Paint color named "Concrete" matches lobux's garage floor. Coincidence?

+1 on the clear coated primer.
It's a nice color on the right car but I don't see this as the right car.
Props. on going for a color change on a brand new F though!

If owner is happy that's all that matters.

But if this was my F, I wouldn't even think of spraying a Scion color. Reason being, someone ask what color is it? IMO - kind of degrading (as an IS-F owner) to say its a Scion color. At least tell the guy it's a Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo or even AMG or M car color...but not a Scion on an F car.

Arrow FYI for All...

You guys are funny...!!!!

For those who don't know... The "Cement Gray" (1H5) is actually a VERY metallic color mixture...

This photo below, captures the metallic flakes very well..




It really looks pretty cool when you see the paint in person...

It is far from looking dull, flat or like clear coated primer..

To each their own..

I likes it...

I'm not a cement guy, but I think it would look better this cement color:
