I was soooo hoping that Infiniti would have come out with a beautiful, candy-apple red for 2008. If they had, that's what I would have gotten. I love the red on the Lexus IS.

I say do the white. My firend owns a bodyshop and he was showing me one day all the different types of pearl mixes he has. We were putting together a bunch of different combinations of different types of pearls. Let me know if you wanna see what colors you can and effects you can put together.

Are you doing an all over color? That can get really expensive.

+1. But if you want a good price, I can probably see what my friend can do for you if you're really interested. It's not only expensive, but it takes a good amount of time if the shop doesn't dedicate all their time to that one car. If you're gonna get a full body, you gotta do it right, which means the shop has to take the time to take out all the parts that has to be taken out in order to paint all the panels, etc.
