Whats you favorite Z color?

Looking for the best color for a DD.

I'm guessing white will always dirty.
Black will always look dull if not kept up.
I'm not a fan of silver.

What else is there?

You've got it backwards, dude. White always looks clean and black always looks dirty. I've owned white cars and black cars and black cars are a pain (but IMHO, nothing looks nicer than a clean, shiny, scratch-free black car). White cars can be covered in dust, get rained on and be scratched up, and they still look white.

Personally, my favorite color was San Marino Blue, but they didn't offer that in 2008, so I got Nogaro Red. Cops love my car.

You hit on a hot subject.Are you interested in what color a car(Z)gets less dirty or,which looks better?Of course,everyone has a favorite color.That will be a big factor in their selection.My background is design.When it comes to cars,there are certain colors that make the design standout.I've posted comments on this before.As a rule of thumb,the better the overall design is,a "hot"/very vivid color is not necessary.The Z is a
terrific overall design(350).It looks good from every angle.The 370 does not.
My personal choice is silverstone.This darker silver with a bit of graphite& metallic really shows of the lines of the Z.Red(redline) would be my second choice mostly due to the shade of red used on the Z---very Ferrari.Red compliments the 350.
However,some of the design elements are covered up.

I hate to correct you but my 2008 Touring is San Marino Blue. So my vote is exactly that...San Marino Blue

OP.
In my honest opinion, this is something you can't choose based off other peoples preferences.
What's YOUR favorite color?

But I do love PPW, Magnetic Black, and San Marino Blue

i really llike what jcity said. I had actually been assuming that most car commercials involved silver cars because they show every detail of the car, and I was right. In fact, I couldnt decide which color to choose for the z until I went on the website and they had a carbon silver z featured. Looked so sexy :]

No joke? They told me that was a 2007 color. Didn't see it in the 2008 brochure either. The special order color in 2008 was Nogaro. Serves me right for trusting the dealership.

this thread makes me think that CUSTOM is teh bestz color for teh Z.

Wrap, paint, do something not done one million and six times.

I did flat black.

Which has only been done half a million and six times.. which is acceptable.

haha.
