Liquid Platinum
Good morning to all, the reason I am writing is to hopefully get some positive reinforcement from some of you concerning the Liquid Platinum color. I purchased my RC F about a month and a half ago and was trying to find either the Grey or the Liquid Platinum color. There was no Grey available at the time but the Platinum was available, so I bought it and love it! However, I do get second thoughts about not picking the right color. I know white is very popular and so is Blue and the Grey looks great too! I have always loved Silver(and I am older,56) and all my cars have been Silver, but I don't see many Silvers around. Anyway , anybody that has Liquid Platinum or likes the color, please chime in and hopefully reassure me that I did not make a mistake. Thanks so much in advance and sorry about the rambling!

That's the first time I see someone with buyers remorse with color, usually it's with packages, price or type of car.
you have an awesome car that many would envy. Stop stressing it front of a computer and go for a drive. Guarantee it will be forgotten

The color is beautiful. Am currently on a search for this color for the RC F. It's hard to find. Not seeing many silver RC Fs around is a plus.

Color choice is subjective. Why do you care what color someone else likes? No matter what color it is someone will like it and someone else will not. The only opinion you should care about is your own, or maybe the opinions of those close to you. But not strangers...
I have owned a few silver vehicles. My RX350 is silver. I can go for weeks without washing it and it's barely noticeable. Rock dings have to be huge before you will notice them. Silver is a very low maintenance color.
But it's not going to look as shiny as other colors when it's clean, such as black.
I like silver, but I did not want a silver RC F.

i agree 100% the only opinion that matters is mine and maybe a lil bit of my family. But when your rolling and when you mod it or fix which ever you choose it's all your personal taste. Any color RC F looks great it's up to you the owner how you treat and care and modify your ride to your liking. Many have black, white, blue but every last one is different in its own right. But I do understand your preference cause I wasn't looking for nuebla pearl but ended up with an ultra white and with the car it self I DONT CARE IF IT WAS PINK/PURPLE... it's an RC F at its heart. So enjoy your ride bro all on here are glad you got one and will help if need be with any mods...

Lexus made a mistake keeping the rear diffuser area gloss black for all colors. Looks horrible in all colors except gray and black. Should've come up with a better design to accept body color.

I did spend a few months agonizing over the choice (and plenty of post purchase reassurance that I made the right choice) here's what I remember of my thinking:
- Blue - Had an RC in blue, great looking color, lots of compliments, a little too showy for me, and..... had a minor rear end incident, the body shop tried 3 times, never got the color matched, never again
- White - 2nd choice, but I thought the rear bumper and other lines wash out a little in this color from a little distance (I think this works better on the RC350 with the black rear bumper trim parts) so you get a lot of somewhat featureless white on a side view.... I remember walking a lot and comparing white and platinum RCs and RC350s and making my final decision
- Dark Grey - I like the color, easy to maintain, had an IS in it and think that looks great, but didn't feel it showed off the car as well as the platinum
- Atomic Silver - Not my favorite, wife has it on her car and loves it, to each their own
- Black - Love the color when clean, but I've had dark cars and have moved on....I get too upset to see any dirt, flaws, etc.

Any color on this car is awesome. Besides, if you get bored with it, have it wrapped any color you like.

Thank you all!. I feel much better after these posts. I do love the Silver, but as you know it is always easy to second guess yourself after you pulled the trigger. Bottom line is that I love this car. Thanks again!!!!!!!!
