Is black the easiest paint to match later?
I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but I'd always been told that if you do a car with a solid black paint, it can be touched up later or other panels can be repaired and the match will be nearly perfect because "black is always black".
Is this true, or is it just one of those "common knowledge" things that turns out to be bogus?
Or, was it more true in the days of lacquer and single-stage urethane, but less so with BC/CC?
Actually yes and no to your question.....All blacks are not the same.Duponts single stage has a brown cast.Spies Hecker and PPG have the blue black cast and in my opion are nicer looking.Whatever black you use thats the one you should use for touchup, if the need ever arises.
I own a body shop,and in my experinces,black is not always black,but it is easy to match.Some codes call for different toners or black.On my Diamount mixing system alone there are about 7 versions of black.Some are bluer,some ard more brown,some are more grey and so on and so on.The thing is,if you paint your car withstraight black toner off of PPG's system,if you need to repair it later,and you use PPG's black toner,you should not have a problem.JMHO.
"Black is Black" is a thousand miles wrong. Black is one of the hardest colors to match, mostly because people don't give it the respect it deserves.
First off, there is NO SUCH THING as "black". Yep, there is NO "Black" cars or "black" paint, PERIOD. The carbon or at least a huge majority of it was removed from paint back in the late seventies. What you see as "black" is really dark blue, dark brown, or dark red. And nothing looks worse than a dark blue "Black" car with a dark red fender.
You have to match a black JUST LIKE any other color. There are some formulas available on line, do a search. There are MANY colors in every "Black" formula that I know of. There are ways to shoot a custom "Black" that is pretty darn close to black (check out SPI) but there is no factory car that I know of that you will find less than a three or four colors in the formula. And then things get even crazier because each paint manufacturer has different shades of black toners so they have to have some crazy formula to make their screwed up black toner match the "Black" color of a car.
NO, "Black" is most certainly not "Black".
Maybe I am reading your post wrong Brian. You may be getting more techinical than what I am thinking but I would think that being the SW/ MS guru you would be very familiar with MS code 8800 GM fleet Black. When ever I need straight black paint that is what my jobber mixes.
Using this Crossfire mixing label as an example.
Black General Motors Fleet (1pint)
CF100 Strong Black 205.8
CF223 B/C Fixer 343.6
CF224 Balance Solv. 435.1
In this example the only color the jobber is using to make black is black.
By contrast:
Black General Motors Passenger Car (1 quart)
CF100 Stong Black 404.9
CF128 Free.Yellow 411.2
CF122 Strong White 413.0
CF223 B/C Fixer 688.7
CF224 Balance Solv. 871.8
This black has yellow and white in addition to black.
Maybe you are talking about the actual CF100 Strong Black toner having something else in it. Not sure.
My point is anyone looking for straight black should ask the jobber for GM fleet black.
My point is, the CF100 "black" ISN'T black!
If you spray that color out and then mix up the same style "black" formula in DuPont or PPG and spray that out you will see that there is a difference.
The lower formula you give is actually made to match the "black" that is on the car that is painted at the factory with what ever brand of paint they use that likely has a single toner in it as well.
When I did my brothers Roadster I went to the paint store and poured out all the blacks in a few different brands, believe me they all were NOT black.
If you were to get a formula for the very same GM black in the Tec/BASE line you may find that it uses different colors to make the same "black". The reason is, the Cross/FIRE "Black" toner may be a "dark red" while the Tec/BASE is a "dark blue". I have never tried them so I don't know. But without a doubt if you get a PPG, DuPont, Sikkens etc. formulas for the same GM black you will see completly different toners used, I mean different COLORS.
Now, just as with any color, if you were to keep the formula on hand and touch the car up with paint mixed off that same formula it certainly should match. But to go get "GM fleet black" in PPG and them paint a fender down the road in DuPonts "GM fleet black", believe me, you are going to have two different colors.
I figured you were trying to state something along those lines.
In regards to the original question at hand I say from my experience the answer is yes. Black is absoulutely without a doubt the easiest color to match later on that I have personally sprayed.
Its simple. If I am doing a repair on a black vehicle with factory paint I will get the jobber to mix the paint according to the code given. If someone brings me something custom that they simply want black I get the paint mixed as 8800 GM fleet black. With only one color toner in the mixture odds are the paint clerk isn't going to mix it wrong in the future if I need to do a repair.
In either case as long as you know the color code or what paint was used during a repaint black will be the easiest color to match up in the future. I find that even if the black is a little off it is much less noticeable than say a white that is a little off. At least it is to my eyes.

Thanks for everyone's comments - I should have been more clear - I didn't expect "black" from other manufacturers to match each other. I was assuming that, if the need arises, I would stay within the same line of the same manufacturer.
I've always liked black, but your bodywork has to be flawless. However, the ability to easily match repairs in the future is a big plus for a home painter.
Here are some other thoughts on picking a color. One of them being that black hides body lines and makes the car look smaller.
Basic of Basics - Choosing a color
Thanks for the link to your write-up, Brian.
I knew black made cars look smaller, but I didn't realize what it did to body lines. Although, now that I think about it, it does make sense.
I was looking for a pure black for a 1960 Impala, and was told to try SPI. They were right, it is the blackest black I,ve seen in a long time.
Yeah, I have never used it but in talking to Barry that was of course the main objective when he decided to do black, make it the blackest darn black there was.
That is all I meant with my long post, there is no REAL "Black" and just make sure you use the same company when you repaint something down the road.
Thanks Brian.
Sorry, I get lost easy.
I don't really know.
I will say this over the last three or four years of all the shops I visit the general comments I hear is White and Black are the biggest problems with matching.
Now to qualify this these would be statement from shops doing everyday collision repair.
This would make sense to me as there are so many ways to make black before any color is added.
Running through the mill once or eight time and any amount of times in between and different size milling media with each run also makes a big difference.

Rick Donohoe owns a brick-and-mortar Cookies In Bloom store in Denver, but when he decided to expand, he wanted to go in a different direction. He called the franchisor, which specializes in cookie-bouquet arrangements, to see if he could branch out with the kiosk format in his local mall. "It's a new format for this type of business," says Donohoe, 43. "Every other Cookies In Bloom has been in a retail strip-[mall] environment." The franchisor was very supportive. Branching out into a kiosk doesn't mean you don't need to own a brick-and-mortar location, Donohoe adds. "The kiosk is too small an environment to produce the cookie arrangements."
Donohoe took special care in choosing the right location for his kiosk--he went right into an area of the Denver marketplace where "there's a lot of discretionary income," he says. Donohoe also notes the difference between a mall shopper who comes to his kiosk and a shopper who visits his brick-and-mortar store. "People who go to the mall want something right there," he says, "while at the retail store, 70 to 80 percent of our orders come in over the phone." Donohoe had to modify his inventory to have more premade cookie arrangements on hand as well as find a way to display and store them in the kiosk environment. He added display cases and signage around the kiosk to entice passersby to stop and check out the product.
With yearly sales from his kiosk at $200,000, Donohoe reports it's "about the fifth highest volume outlet, out of 21 Cookies In Bloom stores in the chain. He hopes to open more kiosks in the Denver area and encourages other franchisees to ask about a kiosk option, even if it's not usually offered.

Walk up from the cafés on the waterfront and the silhouetted stone towers of the Alcazaba, and it may look too far and too high for a leisurely stroll. But the path up is gentle, and well worth the physical effort as the panoramic view of Malaga and its harbour opens up slowly before you. Once at the top you, can enter the Moorish fortress (€2.10, free on Sunday after 2pm) and walk a full 360° circuit of the wall, admiring superb views of Malaga and the hills beyond. A small museum explains how the Alcazaba was used in medieval times to defend the city against invaders.

Two men and a woman packed pizza and beer aboard a luxury sailboat in a Sausalito marina, stole it in the middle of the night and made it as far as Pacifica before the vessel ran aground 20 yards off a beach Monday, authorities said.
The three then spent hours being tossed about in the waves in the 82-foot Darling as authorities, alerted to the theft by a man who recognized his boat on the TV news, waited with guns drawn on Linda Mar Beach.
The three suspects - Leslie Gardner, 63, Dario Mira, 54, and Lisa Modawell, 56 - were pulled off the boat onto personal watercraft by San Mateo County sheriff's deputies about noon and handed over to Pacifica police, who booked them on suspicion of grand theft and conspiracy.
When authorities boarded the Darling, they found cases of pale ale and a pizza box, said Jeff Wadkins, a state parks lifeguard and park ranger who was one of those to scour the vessel. "There looks like there was quite a bit of alcohol drinking onboard," he said.
The contents of the boat were in disarray, apparently because of the rough surf, Wadkins said, and the three suspects showed signs of seasickness.
One of the men limped as authorities led him away, apparently because he uses a prosthetic leg, Wadkins said.
The 2004 boat has three cabins, each with its own bathroom, and a satellite TV with Dolby surround sound, according to an online description of the boat. The vessel is also stocked with an inflatable outboard boat that comes with water skis. Comparable sailboats sell for $2.8 million.
Keeping it together
Once the suspects were taken ashore, the focus turned to trying to free the luxury boat before it broke apart, said Eric Laughlin, spokesman for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"Right now, the boat seems to be staying together, which is good news," Laughlin said.
Tim Parker of Parker Diving Services said the boat's 10-foot keel was dug several feet into the sand. Salvage crews may wait until a 6-foot-high tide at 5 a.m. Tuesday to dislodge the boat.
"As nice as the boat is - and it's real nice - it was not designed to be pulled," Parker said. "It's not a tugboat."
No help needed
Rescue crews arrived at the beach around dawn, shortly after the first hints of daylight revealed the Darling, stuck in the shallows. Although the three people onboard initially said they didn't need any help, a Coast Guard swimmer was lowered from a helicopter and delivered a radio to the vessel, said Petty Officer Tom McKenzie, a Coast Guard spokesman.
The vessel's owner was watching news coverage of the incident, took a hard look at the boat bobbing in the waves and realized it was his, said Sausalito police Sgt. Bill Fraass.
"He had the TV on when he realized that his boat had been taken and called us," Fraass said.
Once they learned they were dealing with more than just an unlucky set of sailors, Pacifica police officers joined the Coast Guard and local Fire Department on the beach. Officers stood onshore with their guns drawn a little before 11 a.m. and used a megaphone to order those onboard to give themselves up.
The owner, John Fruth, was in a parking lot on the Pacifica beach when the suspects were taken off his boat. He declined to comment.
Nicest boat in harbor
The boat, built by English builders Oyster Marine, has sailed around the world, according to an online description. Police believe the boat was stolen from the Sausalito Yacht Harbor around 1 a.m. Monday.
"They chose to steal the nicest sailboat, likely, in the entire marina," said Travis Lund, a base manager with Sunsail, a yacht charter company that has eight boats docked in the harbor. "There aren't that many of these things of that size in the world."
It would have taken some skill to navigate the boat out of the cramped marina, Lund said.
"That's like saying you can drive your car, but now you're going to hop into a tractor trailer, back it out of its space and drive it cross-country," Lund said. "It would take more expertise to get it out. How they ran it aground in Pacifica, I don't know."
Lund said the harbor has no security, but that thefts are rare.

Apple sued over iPod nano scratches
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Apple over the iPod nano's tendency to get scratched easily. The complaint was filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California in San Jose on behalf of nano owner Jason Tomczak and others who have purchased the device.
The lawsuit alleges that nano screens "scratch excessively during normal usage, rendering the screen on the nanos unreadable, and violating state consumer protection statutes… and causing Plaintiff class members to incur loss of use and monetary damages.

It's not that people are speaking up for Apple, it would seem most disagree with idiotic, greedy, and pointless lawsuits that do nothing but waste time and money. If these guys win, what's next? A lawsuit against McDonald's because the burger doesn't look like the picture? Or Nike because their shoes didn't make you run any faster? If you don't think Apple is qaulity, don't buy it. I had a sony minidisc player before I bought my iPod, and that thing was a piece of crap, but I didn't try to sue Sony. These people are just "bell ringers"
Posted by Ray on October 22, 2005 at 11:44 AM (CDT)
I think it may not scratch easier than the last generation however it's a simple fact that the last gen iPod didn't come in black - the scratches just show up far too easily on the new black iPods (my 5G scratched now after just two days of sitting in the cup holder of my Infiniti).
I also don't like Apple's coy statement about the cases as there are no cases available for me today, right now, at my local Apple store and purchase that protect the entire front surface of the 5G iPod.
So I love the products but I'll never recommend to anyone to buy a black nano or 5g. My white nano has the same hairline scratches but they are less noticeable as it is white rather than black.

And Apple takes a nice cut in any extra's sold.. cuz they love that fast buck! But hey the worlds not flat, there are other mp3 players, opps sorry to offend anyone here.

Anyone putting their iPod nano in their pockets without a case or a sock is an idiot.
I keep my mini in a sock, and aside from dropping it and denting the sharp corners at the bottom a bit, its pratically brand new. And I got it a month before nano came out.
Posted by minty on October 22, 2005 at 3:10 PM (CDT)
Don't know how many of you have ever brought a lawsuit. It very time & cash consuming. As for any of you prejudging the merits of a suit, that sounds like Saddam. The legal system decides. If the suit is deemed frivolous, the one bringing the suit will pay court costs, the lawyer could get fined. As for many of you, who "accept" scratching, go ahead, keep accepting it. I, for one, am stoked!!! that someone has the initiative to put a bowtorch under Apples butt, they've gotten too fat, and, arrogant. So, you all, stop palying judge and jury; it isn't an y of YOUR business, nor, concern, that someone opts to resort to the legal system, that's what makes America GREAT: the little guy has access to adjudication. I LOVE it. The junk pedders ought to pay attention. Over, & out.
PS. For those of you, who love having crap shoved under your nose, I respect YOUR American right an imbecile; enjoy.

I think its about dang time that apple makes an iPod design that doest scratch from normal everyday use.
I could imagine expecting a scratch if I droped or rougly handled my nano, but not from keeping in my pocket or even in a case. If a single flek of dust gets between the case and the nano, it looks like someone ran a needle along it.
I am rooting for the lawsute to be a success.
Posted by Rascal_King on October 22, 2005 at 5:54 PM (CDT)
From what I've seen, the nano has a thin clear layer of something on the front, similar to the thick lucite layer of the original ipod (obviously not lucite if it is getting scratched so easily). The 4g ipod doesn't have such a clear overlay, so Apple isn't really lying when they say the nano uses the same polycarbonate shell, the 4g just doesn't have this easily scratchable clear layer. The back of my nano got scratched when I removed the plastic wrapping (so I could use the dock connector, headphone port, and hold switch). I left the clear plastic sticker on the face until I received my InvisibleShield. I have seen a nano get badly scratched from a microfiber cloth.
Apple isn't forcing you to buy a case, but when I bought a Creative Jukebox Zen, iRiver ifp-890, and an iRiver H10, all three came with a case, even though they are less prone to scratching.
I don't agree with seeking a share of profits, but how about a case/cover at least?
Posted by kevin on October 22, 2005 at 11:50 PM (CDT)
You're forgetting the black 4G-based U2 iPod. By most accounts, the U2 iPod doesn't scratch nearly as easy as the black nano. And for that matter, even when compared to the WHITE nano. The final finish of the nano is simply done way too soft, period; Apple dropped the ball on this aspect of the nano's design and execution.
Posted by flatline response on October 23, 2005 at 3:22 AM (CDT)
This lawsuit is a sad comment on both the unmitigated greed and complete lack of ethics of the law firm and the spoiled, selfish nature of the plaintiffs. Unfortunately, it falls right in line with the all-to-frequent threads I read here about dishonest users trying to scam Apple into getting new iPods either because they broke them or just because they feel like getting a new iPod.
Just what sort of claims did Apple make on the Nano being "scratchproof"? What sort of reasonable expectations include the idea of a piece of plastic not being prone to scratches?
Class action suits exist for a good reason—to seek remedies when companies are liable for problems with a product or problems caused by a product. But this lawsuit is just shameful.
Posted by Scientist on October 23, 2005 at 10:28 AM (CDT)
Those of you who in he camp that Apple shouldn't be sued all adhere to the "unmitigated greed and complete lack of ethics" position. ALL of you would be VERY comfortable in North Korea, Syria, or, Sudan. Clearly, Democracy of the free market has you jumpy. LAWsuits are only possible in a society of LAWS: I suggest a reading of the Bill Of Rights & the CONSTITUTION. What you education, or, lack of it, seems to haave skipped, is the fact that Apple has perfect freedom to (manipulatively) peddle crap. Repeat: that is Apple's RIGHT. Freedom is a wonderful thing. And, if anybody is LESS than enthused with Apple's tactics, they, too, have the RIGHT, to sue the living bejesus out of Apple. 1) Do NOT step on their RIGHT. And, YOUR "opinion" of teir exercise of THEIR right, is as meaningful as a horse-dropping, actually, LESS so. This is AMERICA, not North Korea.
Oh, one other thing. Apple's decsion, a STUPID ONE, is ALREADY costing them WAAAYYYmore than the bucks they are trying to generate via accelerated obsolescence, and/or "potective"case sales. The FREE MARKET RULES.

Apple got it wrong.
Apple is not infallible, and neither are their vendors.
With normal wear any plastic object will begin to show scratches, but the scratches that show up on the Nano are excessive because either Apple omitted the Hard-coat that should cover the front, or used an inferior product to save money.
The Cell phone in your pocket is hard-coated to prevent scratches, and the product works - (as a mechanical designer who used to design cell phones I know), is your phones screen as scratched as your Nano would be if you didn't go out and buy some over-priced protective cover ?
All of this is in the text of the lawsuit, which you would know if any of you actually bothered to read it before posting your ill informed comments.
As for the law suit, think of it as way of forcing Apple to make good on the product. Nobody but the lawyers will make a penny out of it, but if it gets Apple to produce a better product, and maintain that quality then it has served its purpose. Don't you want a better quality product ? or do you like to spend money on over priced band aids that you need because Apple messed up.
Posted by Crucial on October 24, 2005 at 1:09 AM (CDT)
No one's disputing the *right* of anyone to file a lawsuit, just as I wouldn't dispute people's rights to make insufferable fools of themselves. Maybe if you actually lived in North Korea for a few years, the scratches on your Nano might not seem like such an earthshaking issue. So you both think the courts are the appropriate venue to get a manufacturer to make a better product? Do I think it's crappy that Apple no longer includes a wall outlet adapter for iPods—yes! Is a class action suit the right remedy for getting the adapter back? I just think it's ridiculous to think you can sue your way to better product quality. This trivilizes the legal system and adds fuel to the cause of torte reform which has the potential to hurt the people that *really* need legal remedies.
Posted by Scientist on October 24, 2005 at 2:04 AM (CDT)
I am completely uninterested in suing Apple, however I am extremely disappointed in the iPod nano. I purchased it three weeks ago, and within the first week, it was scratched to the point that I can barely read the screen. I always believed that Apple was synonymous with great design, however great design doesn't just mean "looks cool". I have been putting a cell phone in my pocket for years with out any scratches. I purchase eyeglasses with a scratch resistant coating that works. If Apple really wants to be at the forefront of design it must overcome this "form over function" mentality.

I certainly don't agree with the decision to sue Apple for ipod profits, but I will say that I am disappointed with the integrity of the Nano. I have had my nano for about 2 wks, and it has started to accumulate a significant number of scratches. I keep it out of my pocket as much as possible and even have an armband case that I use at the gym, etc. As a sort of experiment, I just cleaned the face of the nano with a bausch & lomb moistened lens cleaner. Doing this resulted in a noticeable increase in scratch density. Apple should be testing their products for this sort of vulnerability. While all plastic will scratch over time under the right conditions, I have never owned an electronic product that was this susceptible to surface damage. What a P.O.S.

Small=Fragile. Get with it, people. These lawyers who take these cases and those who file them should be hit by a bus (and so should these f a g g o t moderators who delete people's posts).

Orbulon, we Americans share the same thoughts on you idiotic Eurotrash.

i got a nano a few weeks back, took extreme caution not to get it scratched, i solo in the pocket (no keys), never dropped or placed anywhere the common items that would scratch it would be. And guess what, its scratched to shit. Like others i dont know what punative damages are sought, not sure that an inferior product has much legal recourse but i do think that apple should acknowledge that they did rush the nano to market. Apple i recall released info a while back on the matter suggesting to get cases for the nano, but in their haste to market none-such had yet been released. Now there are a few options, but it may be too late. As for the comment about mc'ds and coffee note that it was coffee at mc'ds not two seperate stories, anyway that case is still under litigation. Dont pretend like this is the first frivilous law suit. And dont discount lawyers, big shot lawyers dont waste their time for nothing.

Last week I had to leave the farm—for four days and three nights. It was my choice to go. I had applied to give a paper at this conference. I had made the plans. I would see friends and colleagues, share ideas, and catalyze my own. I was even going to hear Wendell Berry speak! Yet as the date approached, my whole bodily self screamed in protest. I felt sick, anxious, and worried, and I did not know why. Why was it so hard to leave home?
As I drove away from the farm, I felt like an astronaut leaving earth. In order to wrench my tiny capsule free of the farm's gravitational pull, I needed multiple, massive rocket boosters—igniting in a series, with each falling away as its fuel was used up. My bodily self was shaking, my heart pounding; I felt light-headed and woozy.
When I arrived at the airport and thought I had left my suitcase behind, I nearly turned around. When I learned that my flight was delayed, I nearly turned around again. What is the big deal?! I asked myself for the thousandth time. Why the drama? While waiting for the plane, I found a quiet corner to do some yoga stretches; then bought myself a cup of milk and poured it into a cup of granola I had brought from home.

"F" Marks The Lexus Spot!
January 8, 2007 - Detroit, MI - Over the years, Lexus has relentlessly
and passionately been at work pursuing perfection. It all started with the
first flagship vehicle internally known as Circle F, then evolved to Flagship
One or F1, which we all have grown to admire as the LS. Now, the gears have
shifted into a new direction and the ball is definitely in the Lexus court.
The "F" Status
The Europeans have always been known for their factory tuned performance line. Over the years, our Lexus enthusiast crowd has always envied and appreciated the European competition with their "M" & "AMG" performance lines. Now Lexus has turned our dreams of a performance line into a reality. Their interpretation of the upper echelon factory tuned performance is the "F" marque of vehicles. Now what the "F" does that stand for? We all can come to our own conclusions, but terms like but not limited to "Flagship", "Fast", "Fabulous", "Fantastic", "Flying" and "First Class" come to mind. The first of the Lexus "F" marque are represented by two vehicles from each end of the spectrum. One a luxury exotic performance car known as the LF-A and the other a high performance luxury sport sedan called the IS-F.
The Experience
On Monday morning, the day
of the press release, we were invited by Brian Bolain of Lexus Marketing to get
a behind the scenes peek of the LF-A & IS-F pre-press release run through.
Upon entry of the darkened Riverview Ballroom, we first hear a distinct sound
of an engine being revved up several times coming from behind the black
curtains. At the same time, the stage crew perfected the volume for the music
and lighting for the cars. The stage crew cued the faux wall covering the LF-A
v.2. Bob Carter greeted us and walked us over to the new LF-A. No one outside
of Lexus knew about the unveiling of a revised LF-A and we sure were shocked
when we saw it for the first time. We knew about the LF-A being at the release
prior to arriving in
During the press release, ooohs and ahhhs echoed the Riverview Ballroom at the
The luxury exotic concept known as the LF-A was first introduced to us 2 years ago at the '05 NAIAS. Knowing how important it is to make a statement in the automotive world, the engineers at Lexus unveiled a version two (v.2) of the LF-A. The new v.2 LF-A was massaged and re-sculpted with a sexier interpretation of the L-Finesse design language. More defined curves and lines accentuate the front fascia of the car. The sculpted lines of the car blend smoothly across the sides. The rear is defined with a wide beltline at the quarter panels. The signature tri-tip exhaust remains from the original concept vehicle. Headlight illumination is provided by high intensity multi-LED housings. With the newfound aerodynamics, the styled air scoops funnel air into the mid engine V10 which will deliver 500 plus horsepower to the wheels. The F1 racecar-like, high revving V10 will be able to effortlessly transport the LF-A into the 200 MPH realm, a definite first for Lexus. Stopping power is aided by large diameter cross drilled rotors and large caliper brakes. This luxury exotic performance car is currently a concept which is starting to look more like reality. As we hear and read stories of the LF-A in heavy camouflage testing in
The refreshed LF-A v.2 looks
a lot better than the first interpretation. The first LF-A concept was bold and
new but lacked a front fascia that translated into a recognized exotic. After
going under the knife, the new and more appealing and rounded lines gives the
car a lot more character. The rounded design almost gives a hint of the MKIV
JZA80 Supra. From a side vantage point, the LF-A looks as if the nose points
out more than the lower air dam section. Overall the styling has improved
dramatically since the first version and we can only hope the LF-A's styling
will stay bold and exotic upon production.
What it IS
The IS has historically been the sport sedan for the enthusiast. Superb handling, clean cut styling and all around balanced performance were the key ingredients to a field dominated by the BMW 3 series. Many have complained that the first IS has been underpowered at the beginning. Lexus quickly remedied that by offering the 2nd generation IS with a very quick 306 HP IS350 recently. The performance of the IS350 has definitely been chart topping and record breaking from the start.
In the past, Lexus has
teased us with a Rod Millen Motorsports (RMM) prepped V8 IS, where a 4.3L V8
was transplanted from a GS430 sedan sporting a 6 speed getrag manual transmission
from the legendary MKIV JZA80 Supra was shoehorned into the 1st
generation IS chassis. Not too long ago, which was exactly about this time last
year, our friend Brad Nelson of Lexus Motorsports who was also in charge of the
RMM IS430 project hinted at, "interesting things to come" after the Team Lexus
prepped BASF Carizzma Blue Pearl IS350 was displayed at last years '06 NAIAS in
Detroit. The Lexus accessory HKS Exhaust & ground effects kit, large big
brakes, a custom suspension that gave a nice low aggressive stance, 19" BBS
wheels and a custom interior was a package that made everyone stand back in
awe. Then in 2006, the Lexus Daytona Prototype race program switched from the
workhorse 3UZ-FE 4.3L V8 to the all new 5.0L V8 which is a larger displacement
version of the 1UR-FSE 4.6L V8 in the all new LS460. That was another indicator
that kept us thinking of what was to come in the future.
Many questions that have constantly come about were, "Why doesn't Lexus offer this from the factory?" and "Why can't we have a real performance line instead of the now defunct and weak L-Tuned line?" Knowing that the Lexus slogan is "The Passionate Pursuit of Perfection", which world class luxury vehicles are offered to the masses, the enthusiasts felt as if their needs were not satisfied and would have to resort to the European marques. The longing desire for a proprietary Lexus performance line has been a dream of many enthusiasts and car lovers for many years. The 2nd generation GS400 and the 1st generation IS was a great start, but it still wasn't enough to satisfy as there was still something missing. Today, Lexus has ignited a new fire of enthusiasm with the "F" line. After the years of hoping and waiting, Lexus definitely was listening. The wait is now over. The answer to the void is the 400+ HP 5.0L V8 powered IS-F.
In the mind of the hungry car enthusiasts, more power in every aspect is better. Going along with the American idea, of "bigger is better", like car enthusiasts, we are greedy, therefore we want more. It is comforting to know we aren't alone, and that there are also engineers who are also enthusiasts that live in the corporate halls of Lexus. As Lexus Group Vice President and General Manager, Bob Carter stated during his presentation at the press release of the IS-F, "They developed this vehicle while endorsing the "Lexus Musts"…Must be balanced. Must be authentic and most importantly, Must haul ass." The new IS-F proves to the world that Lexus is fully capable to build a true performance product. This project was developed by a "Skunk Works" team of Lexus engineers that had a desire to build something special. We can thank Chief Engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi and his team for developing and making a long awaited dream come to a reality.
The new IS-F is definitely a vehicle of its own. Chief Engineer Yaguchi made that a point when designing the IS-F. It is not to be mistaken as an IS500 or even an IS250 or 350 for that matter. From an outside standpoint, the most obvious features that stand out are the new larger and muscular front fascia and large air dam. The new side vents aid the cooling power of the heat generated from the front of the vehicle. The trick vent integrates smoothly into a side skirt to create a seamless sweep to the rear. Those who have only seen this car in photos may think the larger front end and side vents look out of place. In a three dimensional point of view, the whole front end and sides actually compliment each other and make a lot of sense.
The heart of this beast is a 5.0L V8 which will yield more than 400 horsepower with more than 350 ft/lb. of torque and deliver a healthy sub 5 second 0-60 time. These are the best performance figures given of any Lexus vehicle in history. Derived from the 1UR-FSE 4.6L V8 from the all new LS460, this new 5.0L V8 will satisfy. The new IS-F breathes out of a free flowing quad exhaust system which gives a bone chilling and aggressive sound that enthusiasts have been craving for years. A new 8 speed direct paddle sport shift gear box will keep the new 5.0L V8 in its sweet spot. The new 8 speed transmission features ultra quick shifts and responsiveness via the manual mode. Downshifts and upshifts only take 1/10th of a second to engage. The advanced transmission also will blip the throttle upon downshifts so the engine RPM's match the IS-F's speed. This is something we've definitely been waiting for since the old E-Shift system of the previous IS. We have been told this transmission is one of the best if not the best that Lexus has ever offered in their vehicles. Although not a real sequential transmission, this new transmission should be good enough to rival the competition. We are a little disappointed that the IS-F does not come with a manual transmission variant and does not have a mechanical limited slip differential ( LSD) to evenly distribute the newfound 5.0L V8 power. Knowing that Lexus has spent countless hours engineering and developing the new 8 speed automatic transmission and reworking the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system into 3 stages of controls which include a normal, sport and a completely off mode. It's not likely they will mess up a recipe for success. Since we are all used to the traditional features common in a high performance sports vehicle (i.e. manual transmission, LSD and etc.), we will reserve our judgment on the IS-F's dynamics when we actually get a chance to sit behind the wheel and drive it. It should be an exciting experience regardless.
The IS-F sits on a tuned suspension that now finally has an aggressive stance that has almost NO fender gap, which is a definite thumbs up for the discriminating enthusiast. The stacked quad tips of the exhaust do look a little awkward for our tastes. We would have preferred a larger diameter dual tip or even a traditional horizontal quad tip exhaust. Being the hardcore enthusiasts, we love the feel and full control of a car. Kudos to Lexus for the large 14.2" front and 13.6" rear Brembo brake setup. An opposed aluminum six piston caliper front and two piston caliper rear are necessary to stop the flying IS-F. The factory aluminum forged 19" made by BBS allows the IS to stay panted to the ground with sticky 255/35R19 tires in the rear and 225/40R19 tires in the front. This is definitely a stunning array of world renowned performance modifications for an otherwise factory tuned vehicle
On the outside, the "F" badges signify the vehicle's presence on the fenders and the rear. The inside is also unique to the "F" status, are the embroidered badges on the sides of the front and rear seats and on the steering wheel. We did not see any floor mats in the vehicle but we will assume the same embroidered "F" will make its way for all four foot wells. Blue stitching can be found throughout the seating surfaces including the steering wheel. There are two choices of interior leathers for the new IS-F. One is in the traditional black and the other is a two tone white & black to give a monochromatic look. The white interior may seem a bit much for the enthusiast, but it is definitely a new, out of the box interior color for Lexus. One may feel the white interior will be a lot harder to maintain. There was evidence of that in the IS-F as you can tell the person driving the vehicle was wearing blue jeans. A big noticable difference in the IS-F's interior is the black headliner. A lot of enthusiasts have mentioned the traditional light gray headliner threw off the rest of the interior especially with all black leather seating. It will definitely be a hit.
The 4 passenger seat setup is standard on the IS-F. Originally, the 4 passenger seat setup was only reserved for the Lexus SC and the latest LS460 with the Executive Seating Package. The front seats are different from the regular IS variant. Larger side bolsters keep your legs and torso in place during quick maneuvering in the twisties. The familiar heated and ventilated seats are available with the perforated leather front seating surfaces. Special chrome shift paddles accent the leather wrapped "F" steering wheel which is also perforated. Available is a very clean weaved silver carbon fiber trim accents which are found in the center console and door switch plates. It is definitely a new look for Lexus, but we hope there will be other interior accent choices offered. Perhaps a genuine brushed aluminum trim or a black wood option can be equipped. Special blue indicator needles sweep the faces of the new Optitron gauges which glow nicely to alert the driver. The usual Lexus luxury amenities are available on the IS-F including the 5th generation navigation and the signature Mark Levinson CD/DVD sound system. The IS-F's interior is definitely comfortable and intuitive, which is of typical Lexus tradition.
We applaud Lexus for stepping
up to the plate and going all out with a specialty line. This car definitely is a great example. Lexus is listening folks! The pursuit began
eighteen years ago as "The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection". Now it has
evolved into "The Pursuit of Perfection". They now have produced a special line
that worldwide Lexus enthusiasts can finally be proud of and call their own. It
is almost safe to say Lexus is on the path of "The Pursuit of Performance". We
can only hope the "F" designation will carry to the other Lexus vehicles in the
line up in the near future. How awesome would
that be when you can say, "Hey, I drive a Lexus GS-F or LS-F!" At the same moment you quickly pass up the
European competition in the lane right next to you. The LF-A and IS-F are
definitely a step in the right direction.
On behalf of Club Lexus and the Lexus enthusiasts, I would like to personally thank Lexus Group Vice President & General Manager Bob Carter, Chief Engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi, Vice President of Lexus Marketing Deborah Wahl Meyer, Brian Bolain of Lexus Marketing and the rest of the generous and hospitable staff at Lexus. Thank you for the unforgettable experience and opportunity.

Keep your office supplies organized and easy to locate by using convenient, high-performance label maker tapes. Choose from a variety of tape styles from trusted brands such as Brother, Dymo, and Casio. Use various colors and widths of label maker tapes for various office applications.
Varied Sizes
These label maker tapes come in a wide range of sizes, so you can find the perfect option for any project. Choose 1/4-inch tape for small areas, including file folder tabs or supply boxes. For large packages, shelf signs, or file drawers, select tape that is 1-inch wide or larger. Label tape is available in continuous rolls and die-cut shapes to give you maximum design freedom.
Multiple Colors
Make your labels stand out with colored label maker tapes. If you need to spot labels on a large package or in a cluttered desk drawer, choose bright yellow label tape. White tapes provide the highest contrast level with black text, ensuring visibility and readability. Clear tapes keep the focus on the text and enable you to create a streamlined look.
Strong Adhesive
Many label maker tapes are backed with high-strength adhesive that stays securely in place on both smooth and rough substrates. General-purpose adhesives are appropriate for mailing and in-office use. When you are labeling products for use in environments with dramatic temperature changes or on tough surfaces, choose heavy-duty label tapes with extra-strength adhesives.

Editorial Reviews
Building a cohesive team is not complicated, declares Lencioni, president of his own management consulting firm and author of The Five Temptations of a CEO. Departing from the dry, theoretical writing of many management books, he presents his case in the context of a fictional organization, and in doing so succeeds at communicating his ideas. The story is about a female CEO who is hired to bring together a dysfunctional executive staff to work as a team in a company that just two years earlier had looked promising. The scenarios that follow are recognizable and can be applied anywhere teamwork is involved, whether it is a multinational company, a small department within a larger organization, or a sports team. The five dysfunctions discussed are absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results. At the end of the story, the main points are summarized, and clearly written suggestions and exercises are offered to help, bring about change. Concise and easy to follow, this book is recommended for academic and public libraries with management collections and for anyone who is a member of a team that needs improvement. —Bellinda Wise, Nassau Community Call. Lib. Garden City, NY (Library Journal, April 15, 2002)
"...there is a lot of good sense in this book...certainly offers some useful pointers..." (Supply Management, 28 March 2002)
"...is worth exploring..." (Progress, Summer 2002)

Damn us husbands and our caring about our wives' well being.
I get your point though
I'm the type of person that when I'm sick, just leave me alone! Don't talk to me, don't look at me, don't touch me. I think that since I was taking care of myself when I got sick from age 9 and up, I just prefer this.
Ok, so back to hair. Since I typically get my hair color at Sally's and DIY and even permanent color doesn't color the greys, would it be better to spend the money and have a salon do it?
Hmmm... probably, at least the first time so you can get their "recipe."

I'm thinking about seeing if they can take me back to my roots and highlight it. Maybe even something different cut wise. I could just tell the to shave it all off lol. Then, I could have Carol's look from The Walking Dead.

How to clean internal parts of hp dv6 for the inexperienced w/o vacuum
-How to best clean internal parts of PC; I understand that a vacuum will create electrostatic discharge. Advice?

A can of air will do the trick.

Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8.1.1 Pro 64 bit
Use a can of compressed air, such as sold at Sam's Clubs/Costco and many office supply stores, to blow out the dust bunnies. A small, non static, brush will also help.

Go to HP,

and look up your specific model (the full model number is a little more than just dv6) as HP quite often has the service manual for them listed, and they show what is needed to clean it.

Thank you all! I will try the can of compressed air along with a brush. My initial concern was that a can of air may blow the dust "deeper".

For a laptop, i would first use a vacuum to pull dust out before using compressed air that blows dust back in.
The video shows after blowing in from the outside, cleaning is done inside with the DESKTOP open.
It also says dust inside may cause shorts...
If you clean a LAPTOP by blowing at dust in the vents from the outside only, where does that dust go?
It may be immediate/short term help with a cooling problem, but that dust is now inside the laptop.
Are you are willing to open up the laptop for cleaning?
If not, and you don't want to vaccum, i would use Qtips to clean the vents before using compressed air.
I've seen some posts in SF with excellent LAPTOP cleaning advice.
If i can find them, i'll post links.
If i remember correctly they use a vacuum and compressed air...

This is just me, but it works really well. Now don't laugh...I use a leaf blower to blow out desktops....it's fast, very thurough and no static build up. I stand about 2-3 feet away and let the dust fly...out side of course. I said don't laugh.....it works. I've been doing this for about 5 years now. Save's a lot of money on cans of compressed air.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 830 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by jovijerseygirl You pay for what you get Breakfast was not included and there was not a fridge in the room. For $150, it was just OK. June 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JNC10019 Hotel is just Ok Elevators are terrible! I have never been in a facility where the elevators were this atrocious. Each trip was an adventure in futility and frustration. It was so bad we stayed away from the room or the bar and restaurants in fear of having to use the elevators. Sad SPG Experience! April 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SalesDG Nice amenities The hotel offers a gift shop, a terrific work out room, restaurant, bar, pool and more. The location is convenient and the staff was very accommodating. This appears to be an older property and there is room for improvement on the rooms and meeting areas. October 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sue78 Could have been better Was charged for a cot that we didn't need. Had the wrong room when we arrived but they did handle the change quickly. The new room had a window that was cracked from top to bottom - a bit dangerous and not at all attractive! Never enough towels available. July 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jackandjill27 This hotel has a good location and nice features This hotel is convenient to museums and parkway with good bed and expected hotel features. The street level appearance is not nice from the city side where people approach walking from center city because they expect all customers to arrive from driveway. September 29, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by BowlinBando Sleep interrupted by unfriendly staff I checked into this hotel very late in the evening due to plane delays. The staff was welcoming, even at such a late hour, and I went up to my room for a few hours of sleep. The next morning, at 8:30 am, there is a loud knocking on the door. Since I was tired, I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep. A few minutes later, there is another demanding knock on the door. When I open the door, it is the cleaning person, asking when I will check out. Now, 8:30 is in no way close to the checkout time, and I was not delaying her job by trying to get my rest. So my response is that I don't know when I will be checking out. She then demands an estimate of when I think I will be checking out. After a late night this was the last thing I wanted to deal with at 8:30 in the morning. After that encounter I begin to get ready for the day, since I was alerady awake. After about 20 minutes out of bed, I see a huge bug crawling where I had just slept. Not my idea of a friendly or clean hotel, and I will not be visiting any time in the near future. August 13, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by NotImpressed1Downtown Mediocre 1. Don't bother to check in early. 2. The club room has poor quality food. 3. The front desk can't do anything for the customer, and beware of the room you get if you ask. 4. The hallways are dark and dingy. 5. service is slow. April 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bears Hockey trip The air conditioner was extremely loud; we finally turned it off. The bedspread was very heavy. The club room was not open one morning and did not have drinks in the evenings; we find Pittsburgh's Club Lounge much nicer. April 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by jdiggity Not resilient in bad weather During my three night stay (during the polar vortex), the fire alarm went off two nights (both past midnight), my room was not cleaned the first night, and room amenities were subpar for a Sheraton (no slippers, robes, or refrigerator in the room). January 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kuclaxton Good Meeting Location I came to Sheraton for a 2 day Accounting Program & was very pleased with the hotel staff, the hotel room, & the meeting rooms. I would recommend Sheraton to any businesses looking for a location that can hold large group meetings/workshops/programs. October 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Donna321 conference help I stayed at this hotel for a conference. Kyntoya, who coordinates the group events, was so competent and helpful from making reservations to follow up with bills afterwards. May 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CFM56 cab assistance The cab driver that the Sheraton staff assisted me with was nice but once we got to the airport she had no way to take a credit card, had no receipt to provide which was a problem. Hotel staff should only use qualified legitimate transport services. October 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dakota The staff make the hotel When we arrived our rooms were not ready. The staff took very good care of us while we waited for the rooms to be ready. Everyone we came in contact with was very friendly and easy to talk to. Really enjoyed my stay. April 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jasmine810 Not impressed I stayed 5days with my family.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RALAF Very Good Service The view from the club level is breathtaking. All the staff was exceptional. The day we were to leave the battery in our rental car was dead. We were headed to the airport to catch a flight. Someone from the hotel came to assist us within minutes. May 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JoeAgo Family Fun Good location close to museums. Pool is nice distraction for the kids. My son was locked out of his room due to a door malfunction. Service was dispatched quickly to work on the door. Only suggestion is to extend hours of starbucks stand. February 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ADB1112 So, so The lobby and most of the rooms lived up to the Sheraton standard but my guestroom was not all that great. There were a number of stains in the carpet and the shower head was not securely attached to the wall. Room 534 definitely needs some TLC! November 30, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by medstudent Needs Updated My hotel room left much to be desired. The carpet was bubbling up in the middle of the room, and it is obviously an old hotel needing rennovations. The exercise room was very nice, and the food provided in the bar and for room service was good. November 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bree Horrible My stay was not satisfactory. Blood was on our sheets (TWICE) even after guest services was called and changed our sheets. The breakfast was too expensive and very nasty. The pancakes were rubbery and the meal horrid. I'd never come here again! April 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsRay5410 Great customer service Check in was speedy and efficient, the staff was friendly. I was a little disappointed when I drove up there was no staff to greet and direct me to the parking garage. I'm not certain when next I'll visit but I hope that doesn't happen again. April 11, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Goofus53 This hotel needs improvement It took 3 hours to have soup, salad and dessert...bad very bad. The toliet in my room broke so I had to move to another room, then the makeup mirror in the 2nd room fell apart in my hand. I checked out a day early and went to another hotel December 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lefty3 This hotel is in a great location I thoroughly enjoyed my 5-day stay at the hotel. The staff were exrtremely nice and welcoming. I haven't had as good an experience in a hotel for some time. The hotel is very conveniently located for walking the downtown Philadelphia area. April 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by shweta room amenities and room service was below standard Room amenities were really poor and the food that we ordered for dinner was cold and tasteless. With just one night in the city we were too exhausted to eat out. Had a poor experience at the pool too, way too small and no staff available. March 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrTee Keeps Improving Each time I stay at this property the level of excellence in all aspects keeps rising. Great staff, wonderful rooms, excellent service and food, outstanding location and the best views in town. Can't wait for my next trip to Philadelphia. December 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JAD77 Great stay for Fido as well We were greeted with friendly attention to our needs. The floor for pets was great. Room was at the end of the hall, quiet and staff respectful. Food in restaurant was a bit pricey but fresh and cooked well. All staff was pleasant. January 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Liz73 Disappointed I have stayed at this hotel previously and it was great. This time I was very disappointed. The water in my room was not replenished. The TV did not work and the staff never refilled the coffee packets. Very disappointed in this hotel. September 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYTraveler123 A pleasant stay I have stayed at this hotel more than once and as always to be expected, the staff was very accomodating, the rooms clean, and as a starwood member have always been upgraded at no additional cost. Always a pleasant experience February 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by betsy Hotel Staff are super friendly Philadelphia's Sheraton Downtown's staff in the "Friendly City" live up to the city's name. I don't think that I have ever stayed anywhere where all of the staff have been so friendly. Thank you for taking care of my needs... betsy February 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jayhawk40 Great Staff The staff at this hotel were helpful and informative with all questions that I had. Very nice and clean fitness center. The housekeeping staff were efficient and through. Was able to walk to a number of historic sites and musuems. January 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MeOne Moderate at Best Room had the smell of old stale smoke. Room key needed exchange several times in one evening in order to function and still then security had to open door as lock/keys were malfunctioning. Mary at the Concierge desk was great. October 3, 2013

When my friend, let's call her Amy*, called to tell me about a frustrating experience she had during an appointment with a new primary care provider, I couldn't help but feel empathy for her situation. Amy made the appointment to address a sensitive health concern and left feeling more confused and frustrated than when she arrived. She had assumed that all providers had training in communicating about delicate and sensitive topics and they would take the time to develop a trusting relationship with her. Instead, she felt rushed and that the provider was cold, unsympathetic, and didn't provide the reassurance she needed, when she said from the outset that she was anxious. Amy had had positive relationships with her previous providers and just figured that all primary care providers would be pretty much the same. After this less than satisfying interaction, she came to what I believe is an important conclusion, when in comes to choosing a primary care provider, one size does not fit all.
We all go to incredible lengths to take care of the important people in our lives. Drop everything, re-prioritize, re-arrange and make it work. When a family member, loved one or friend falls very ill or a visit suddenly reveals that they need more care and support than they have, it may feel as though their needs suddenly become your number one priority.
No matter how much you or other people are also doing for this person, providing care encompasses many different things and sometimes people think that they aren't really caregivers unless the person is completely incapacitated. Many of my friends and patients feel they are [...]
