What is your fantasy dream color G?

This isn't one of those "I wish my white coupe was black" threads. This brings up the ultimate mod of the most unique color to match your taste. What resale value is lost with an exotic color and can any value be gained?

I see this as the no turning back type of mod that should be done around the same time as FI. Forget warranties and resale.....


What color would you pick and post samples if you have them....
(OEM colors only allowed if non-Infiniti)

Resale value isn't lost with a weird color, but 80% of people like myself won't even look at a car that's had an outrageous paint job. It makes us wonder what other abuse you've done to the car. It's scary.

Personally, I'd go with a very dark red, with black metallic flake in it. Black leather interior of course.

If you want to turn heads, get a mirrored finish, or paint it to look like it's 100% carbon fiber, or flat black on just the quarter panels. They'll all get you lots of looks.

The garnet red would have been my #1 choice of oem repaint... Of course, a hand sanded OB with a huge number of clear coats might make up for the factory OB coat...

Building on your thinking... Garnet with black diamond and gold flake....all on a full graphite interior.
