What blue is that? I might just have to paint mine that color. I don't think either white or black well suits the SA/FB contingent, but white at least holds to the japanese racing color...

I cant agree with that cuz i think they look pretty good in black but I think your blue is pretty hot too.

The bule looks great - but I am a Black car fan myself....

++ for black...

However, Black is a much harder color to shoot than white, if you are doing it yourself.

If you want a color that will show E-V-E-R-Y scratch and molecule of dirt , go for the Black
they look great in exactly two places: show room floor; outside the paint booth

+1 for keeping it blue. Why are you re-painting anyway? Your paint looks like it's in pretty good shape.

yes every molecule will be seen on a black paintt job, ive actually considered leaving it the same color but even then i would have to repaint it. The previous owner did not get the car painted correctly (they left all of the moldings on and the painter did a bad job), from far away you cant really tell but when you get close you can see all the little details. My dads been a painter for over 30 years so we want to dothe job right
