What color
I know i have made a thread like this before but i decided to not get stripes and to paint it myself after i get some training from my friend who works a local body shop. I really like black but decided against it b/c of how bad it shows dirt/scratches....et cetera...im open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance guys and gals.

well, go with a form of gunmetal or charcoal. Your best bet is go to a paint shop, and ask to look through their paint books. You can look at all kinds of stock color for different cars, or aftermarket colors. The way I found the blue for my car was to go to the 'new' car show at Pittsburgh convention center, where thy have all the new makes and models, with the cars in different colors, and displays set up with all the cars' available colors painted on it. I saw the color and was just like "that is it."

Black is sexy as hell when clean and waxed but it's hard work keeping it that way. Go with a pearl. A pearl silver or grey would be tight.

i personally would go with a green flake with a black overcoat. so at night it looks black but during the day it has a green tint to it.
