Remember that maintenance of black paint is a PIA, and swirl marks are virtually a given. Forget the headaches. SS is the way to go.

Wish I had.

lol I don't know.. maintenance of black paint is a chore I admit, but I usually go driving around late afternoon to evening anyways when the dust and marks don't show up as much . I think if I were to have gone with a silver though, I would have picked chrome silver.. the car looks so clean and muscular since all the lines and shadows show up so clearly. I saw the liquid aluminum at the dealership and it looked great too, but not sure if I could have forked over the extra $1100 for it .

Another SB here
Sure, it's PITA to keep it clean, but imagine when you just washing your car and polishing it. No other color in the Earth can fulfill that enormous satisfaction at least in that moment. Black is absolutely stunning when it's cleaning and shining. (said 10000 times by others too ) I usually love go out driving in the middle of the day when the sun is at its highest in the sky, since sunlights makes my SB even more shiny.
Just put some Zaino coats and you are good to blind everyone on the street

Maybe one thing I don't really like about black is it's kinda tough to get a great result from adding body kits since Black does not reveal the bodyline of the car and details distinctively compared to other colors, and rims are quite tough to match except polished silver or chromes. (Fairly limited choices in my taste) And they don't suit for some flashy or agressive bodykits. Black needs to stay clean and slick IMO

I was only kidding about wishing to go SS... I like the SB (all my cars are black). I was just ribbing 2004z by trying to convince all new Bay Area buyers to go SS rather than SB.
