Thumbs down Lexus smoky granite mica...

I'm going to drop off my car this week to get painted...going to go with a black or some sort of dark grey/gunmetal...but which one??? as most of you may have seen, slmdls1 has one bad *** ss..



but what do you guys think about the lexus smoky granite mica (sgm)...sgm with semi-gloss berger?????





im rolling on silver zr1's which can be chromed out or powdercoated to match whatever color scheme i choose...black, gunmetal, or sgm????

Forget the fact that it's a sick as car if you can

but If I were to get mine re-painted a gunmetal type color... I'd get the paint of the new ZR1... I LOVE that new color...

I'm trying to find the right color for my SS, I'm looking for something inbetween gunmetal/sgm and viper steel gray...

I may just go with the vsg, but want something kind of different..

That TA looks great, I've seen it before. It has the Viper Steel Gray I think. Looks like there is a bit of light blue in there.
I think the ZR1 gunmetal would look a lot better.
