I say order it factory... that is the best way to do it. Also like everyone said I am sure there is a White or Black within 100 miles. My personal opinion, if you were willing to paint it.... buy one and custom paint that badness. Estoril blue would be a good color to look at 
Good luck.

I start at $4,000. Depending the color. Black is the cheapest color you could buy, starting at around $45/quart. Reds, oranges, blues, yellows are much more expensive starting at around $150-$200/quart. Three quarts to change the color, after a base is thrown. I'd charge you $4,000.

You guys are expensive as hell for paint jobs. My neighbors cats clawed the **** out of my old car before I shot them and a complete paintjob for Fusion orange metallic only ran me $2500 with labor and tax. I do agree there is nothing more beautiful than a clean black car...but the Lemans Sunset is quite the eye catcher. If you want to repaint it, get some miles on your car and repaint it once you get the rock chips that you will show up.

The paint alone costed me 2000 with materials. I also had the motor pulled to do the enginebay and had all the windows and trimming removed too. 2500 has to be just a masking job and the enginebay left the stock color. I don't think shes gonna want to leave the enginebay lemans and paint the rest of the car a different color. 
Or maybe she will.

Actually, the Lemans Sunset is one of the best looking colors (behind Daytona Blue
). If it's not something you can live with, then definitely have the dealer find you what you want. Keep in mind that they dealer would much rather sell you something that he already has on hand but if it's a choice between trading for another car or not selling you anything, chances are he'll be willing to trade for what you want.

Luckily I wanted Daytona Blue and found the perfect one; my other choices were Silverstone Metallic and Super Black.
I honestly didn't like the Lemans Sunset at first but after seeing some in person, especially with wheels... It's now my second favorite color... If I have the Lemans Sunset, it would probably be my first favorite

i would have to agree with everyone else on here. i wouldn't change the color unless it was going to be a show-car quality paint job. that's everything removed. Overhualin' style, not Pimp My Ride style.
