I was wondering if any 2010 G37 Sedan owners who have a Graphite Shadow exterior would mind posting pics for me (especially if you have tinted your windows). My wife and I are debating which color to go with. I prefer the Graphite while she prefers Black..

Also, appreciate any Black Sedan owners experiences on the upkeep and paint condition..I am a little skeptical of this self healing paint.

I believe the self healing paint is not available on the 2010.

Will say that unless you know that you will never sell the car, then stay away from Black. The up keep and resale value is too much to deal with. As much as I love black cars I'd never buy another new one of that color.

Sniper, I don't have it with me but seem to recall that the 2010 brochure stated that the self healing paint was standard. I will verify when I get home tonight.

well if you dont have the time to take care of a black car dont do it but this is my 4th i love a clean black car. (resale value ) i never got less because of it being black for that matter i never heard of anyone getting less for a black car. if u dont clean your cars up when your trading them in and i dont care what color u have your not going to get what they are worth. when i traded in my 07 G35x kelly blue told my car had a trade in value of 22700 i got them to 22300 and the paint was not why i couldnt get the 400 more i need brakes

The 2010 definitely doesn't have the self repairing paint. Nothing looks better than black, but it definitely takes effort to keep it looking good! I'm definitely biased. :)
