Car paint

So my car is going into the bodyshop this week. I was set on one color for the most part sterling gray effect off bmw x5/7series. It's a dark shade of grey varies upon sunlight..here is a pic of it.



But I'm open to any suggestions on any color thats darker than standard silver and brighter than IS300 graphite grey pearl(seen a s14 too dark for my taste)Or should I just stick with my original choice..looking for some oppinions. Car goes in later this week gets primered etc..painted next week.Anyone maybe good with photoshop I have a pic of my car beforehand.

Is that the dark grey Nissan uses on the Titan and the Murano? That would be interesting.

Its nice, I like it on the Titan. I think Nissan decided to scrap the 3/4 ton heavy duty plans. I wish they went through with it tho. I would be one of the first to be in line to buy it. Unless the rumors were true and they went with the Izutsu aluminum diesel (AKA the Duramax)...

Toyota Thunder Cloud is another great one as on my 240 below. It has some pearl and metalic in it, so it glows in the light really nice. It was on the older 4-runner and scion xb

Personally, I like the silver off the newer S2000's. I believe it's Sebring Silver Metallic Clearcoat.

Paint code is: NH-552M



The color of Charle's car is also nice. Well; his car is nice in general. Haha.

CharlesJ:that colors looks really nice any larger pictures of it. Searched just found one dim lighting.
That S2000 color looks really good have to check that out.

The car will have a charge speed kit,oem seibon cf hood (staying upainted 2 sell) rims are smoked silver with a polished lip.
