Hardest Color to Maintain??!?!?
I'd say the PPW will be the easiest. I've got DB and mine is never garage kept... I get a lot of compliments, but it is a chore to keep it looking good. PPW will hide so many imperfections...makes me envious!

I am going to be using this car as a DAILY DRIVER and IT WILL NOT BE GARAGE KEPT.
My choices: Daytona Blue or Pikes Peak WHITE???
What would yall suggest if i will not be keeping it garaged and will be using it as a daily? I know if i get blue i will worry about scratches and if i get white it will get dirty, so i cant decide....

DB
PPW:
You will get more head turn with DB.
i have a silver Z, my previous car was also silver and by far the best color to maintain, DB and SB will be a pain to maintain especially being outside. PPW would be the logical choice IMO..good luck

What about rock chips? I love the blue but the only thing holding me back is the swirl marks, the scratches and the rock chips. Those will show more on a DB then white.
My first choice is Blue but i dont wnt to have white chip marks on my bumper.
I know alot of heads will turn in BLUE thats why I LOVE IT...but i dont know if i will be able to have time to wash it every 2 weeks, maybe once a month....

I have Silverstone... i usually wash it a few times a week during the summer.... but it rained for 33 days ( i think it was 33) here in WA and i didn;t wash it 1 week before that started
looked clean even on the 33rd day from more then 15 yards away

regard to chip mark, you will have it on ALL. It just the way you drive. Change your driving habbit to avoid rock chip. Sometime i don't wash my car for 2 weeks or a month, it still look ok.
Bottom line, doesn't matter what color you pick, please give your car a good caring. Wash them.

Pike's Peak White. Is easier of the two to keep clean. It can look very sharp with a couple of mods:
Here's one of my buddy's. I really like the PPW. Mine is the SS half way up the page:

Go for that new deep purple color...that isht is sweet.
Super Black is a tough one to keep clean though. My Spec V was that color, and I washed it every week and dusted it twice a week. Swirl marks are really obvious too with it.
