Any OEM color and grade of paint would be fine.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...d=1,1With this body kit, and then some black wheels like the top picture, and thats all I am doing to it. Really though don't make fun. If you want to be a jerk just please don't do it here. I think it will be cool to see an infiniti with a new look.

I'm somewhat fond of the BMW Samoa Blue Metalic as far as a light blue/silver color goes. It has enough color to not kill the lines and angles of the car, yet is still pretty light in color and... well, I just think it looks good.

My suggestions:Dark teal (if you want to go the extra mile, throw in some gold flakes )

A maroon/burgundy color

Caribbean Blue (used to be offered on G35's...kinda like Laguna Seca Blue but slightly darker)

Laguna Seca Blue

If you are serious about the orange, how about Le Mans Sunset?

The chrome looks great but can you imagine the temptation to key it that a mischevious teenager would have. The Bimmer is probably a show car but you would never want to leave your Q out of your sight.

I think the deep orange would look great. Good luck with your choice.

There was a pic of an orange Q with black from the "shoulders" up posted once, IIRC.

I'd go for a deep charcoal, but I'm a sublte kind of guy.

Oh my god... it's the chrome car again. I'm telling you Lino...I've killed men for less. I shall not allow that to happen to a Q while I'm still able to type.

Thats about the color I painted my truck. Its a modified Lexus color. I love it.I also like the paint on the eclipse, the orange and grey go real nice together.

I dont think i could live with an orange Q... Thats a color made for smaller cars, not big cars like the Q.

I really like the dark green where it looks black except in direct sunlight.

I know exactly what you mean. I almost bought a BMW 740iL that I thought was black in the pictures, but my friend pointed at a spot on the car where the light was hitting the paint just right and I saw that it was actually a dark "forest green". He told that it's a quite common German racing color. It's very beautiful. My Q is black, I want to get it repainted black again with some more clear coat.
