I'de stay away from the dark colors and white, something that scratches and rub out marks aren't easily shown. The color though is up to your taste, you could try pearl colors but that's a little more expensive. If you go to a local paint shop they should have color chips for all years of vehicles and u can check to see what color pearls they have. If u get pearl though due two coats of it in the clear coat stage. One coat you won't see it as much and too much will kind of drown out the base color of the car.

Black... Black black black black black.

Black is the msot beautiful car color, and has the most dynamic responce to differing ways of polishing, waxing and sealing.

If it does scratch, black is the easyest color to repair because:
1) Black pigment doesn't fade at any appreciable rate
2) Black does not have a clear coat
3) Black is the easyest color to colormatch

My '93 ES 300 has Toyota black B202 paint for the black two-tone.


I picked up a few bottles for touch-up and a minor re-spray last year and it matched perfectly, 10.5 years after the car was built.

If it was black then stay black I say. If it was white them paint it white. If you want a different color then buy a new one that color. Don't mess with mother nature!
