please help me pick out a color!
Carbon silver easily looks like the best choice for hiding dirt.
You should consider how significant the washing is going to be. Do you have access to running water outside and an area to wash your car? If you live in an apartment complex without a car wash station or access to a water, you'll probably end up having to pay every time you want the car to be cleaned.
I bought a magnetic black Z and am in this situation. Annoying at times, but I don't regret my choice ;]

Cant decide which color Z i want. From looking at pictures, i love how the z looks in silver alloy,carbon silver or white.
From some of the post i have read, people have said to stay away from silverstone and carbon silver because it's hard to match the paint and others said it has a hint of green or brown and looks dirty.
Anybody regret getting any of those colors?
Pros and Cons of each color?
I just don't want to regret getting the wrong color.
Should I get silver, carbon silver or white?
Thanks in advance.

Black is sexy, it really is, the only things that kept me away from choosing that color was
1. Any imperfections, swirls marks, dirt, ie is easily seen
2. Living in the desert, it will get hot.
PPW is also a beautiful color, but since it's a pearl color, I haven't seen a perfectly matched PPW when someone grabs a new kit and painted.
I went with carbon silver bc I liked the darker shade, and no, it is not hard to match it up, any good paint shop will be able to do it. It hides dust a lot better than any of the other colors, no green tint on it, what you have heard is not true about this color. Like another person said, it really brings out the curves of the Z. Sitting in broad daylight, I cannot describe how awesome it looks, and when it's cloudy and rainy, it almost has a matte silver look, def sexy as well. Look at the pic below, pure win. Grabbed it from another member, hope he doesn't mind.

That is one cool paint job.Looks great
Then you aren't washing it properly. Improper washing procedures are what causes swirls. They don't magically fall from heaven. Check out the Detailing forum.
silver is too common in my opinion, i see at least one every day. when i was looking for my z i was in between black and blue. i decided to go with black because it so elegant, misterios, and still an animal... but if i could do it again i would get it in PPW, with limo tint's black wheels, black tail/head lights, black everything i seen some of the my350z members ppw, i absolutely love them...
anyways nothing its better then my beast magnetic black
