I have the Australian equivalent of CBG (Sonic Chrome) on order with a Palomino (Hazel) interior on order but I'm just not sure whether the colour combo will look good... Debating changing to Caviar, Eminent White Pearl, or Atomic Silver equivalents.
What do you guys think looks best with Palomino? My worry with Caviar is the amount of upkeep necessary to make it look good constantly. My wife and I absolutely loved the caviar in the showroom though...

If you change your order to Atomic Silver with Palomino it might look something like this. We originally had an order for a Grecian Water with Palomino but jumped on this one when someone else cancelled their order.
I really really want the Caviar but the thought of swirl marks and dirt being so apparent worries me.
Eminent white looking more and more likely albeit not our favourite/most exciting colour :/
I swore I'd never get married again or buy a black vehicle. I did remarry but hold to NO BLACK VEHICLES. Black looks good 10minutes after it's painted and that's it.

Hahahaha glad one of those is working out.
Do you think Cloudburst Grey would be better/doable for maintenance?
Thanks for sharing! I love that combo. How do you find the maintenance for CBG? Swirl marks, dirt showing etc.
Not bad at all. Mine is ceramic coated (done after this pic was taken). Dirt does kick up on the bottom part of the car from the road, but it’s hardly noticeable unless you’re close up. I’m not seeing any swirl marks currently.
Very wise about your comment about it looks good in the showroom. That's the unrealistic world that it's clean it's under fluorescent lighting. It will never look better than that. Your first rain you're going to see dirt. We have atomic silver and we have white pearl. I can go a month and my cars look clean. Granted I keep a great paint sealent on it where nothing sticks to it but still they look clean.
Palomino looks best with a dark color IMO. CBG is a good choice if you don't want to deal with all of the hassles that come with a black car.
Yup good choice!
I have had at least 15-20 black vehicles, many full sized trucks. I am as OCD as anyone, I can't stand the marks, swirls or otherwise on a black vehicle. I would spend hours a week detailing whatever I was driving...HOURS!!
Now I have boring Atomic Silver, and now I have many many many more hours to do whatever I want. It's a bit boring but does shine up nicely...sort of.
I don't know what Cloud burst looks like compared to the other grey (forget name, Nebula?) Lexus had, but that would be something I would consider.
