The IS300 Blue is gonna look pimp on the TL. Get a cool Blue paint job, man...
I love blue, but the blue TL is too dark of a blue for my taste. So I got the black.
The IS300 blue is perfect IMHO, or the Estroil Blue from the BMW. They are not too light, yet not too dark

You gonna paint the whole car? That's gonna cost you man. I would just paint what's need painted and the same color. Where are you getting your car painted. My brother had the front of his Civic done at Apollo Paint and Body Shop on highway 6 and I-10 near the acura dealer. It came out pretty good and I couldn't really tell. I got a scratch on my rear bumper too, I think I'm gonna go there and ask them how much it's going to cost for mine.

Yea, that blue is suhweet! I was looking to paint my '66 'stang the Dodge Viper GTS Blue, which is a little similar to that color. Either a shade of a blue, or yellow..I'm leaning more towards yellow though..easier to do..

Yellow doesn't look good when it gets dirty, just like my black TL. But the IS looks great in yellow, and it is one of my fav color. But I don't think I will want to drive a pimp Yellow TL.
I have seen the Chrome Shadow in person. Didn't really like it when I first saw it. But as soon as I compare it to other silver. All other sliver cars look like gray to me...
May that Chrome Shadow painting is sweet....

make sure that you do it a color that won't be available on the Type-S. You want something original and to make you stand out. No sense in spending crazy $$ painting it a color that will be close to what the factory will be producing.

Chameleon or CANDY paint is only for Snoop dogg and his cadillacs. I'd go with the bmw blue, black, or the silver looks the best.
Have you seen the illusion paint that gets put on porsches? I saw it in Dupont Registry, in the sunlight, with the reflection, its hard to tell where the cars stops and the road begins.
