Both of those colours suck. Too many white cars in the world and white is just so boring. Black can be nice but only if the car is PERFECTLY straight. And I mean PERFECT. There are also way too many black cars in this world as well.

Diagonal back half black and front part white. Or a panda.

Or if you want, one solid color, go with black so it will match the red engine bay better.

i went to sherwin williams automotive paint and picked up mazda3/rx8 silver 2 stage. Mint ******* choice for the FC's. Best color imo, clean nice, and dirt blends in when you take it offroad on those occasions... :-)

What color is the interior?

Black will show every defect whether it be scratches, dents, or just dirt.
If you go white base coat, you could spend some extra money and get a red candy instead of PPG clear (**** poor gloss). That would look straight dope and still be red. House of kolor makes a pretty affordable candy and its durable too. That'll give you a bright deep looking red face, and dark red cast.

ok stan, well the choices you have there are pretty lame.... and if you need peoples opinion to tell u to paint your car black or white you do need some help... how bout something a little different... there's thousands of black or white rx7's, dare to stand out, or make it unique.... or just fade back into the crowd...

here's something more conservative.... try the 1998 bmw titanium metallic...

I personally like Forest Green, like the car in BoostinmyS5 avatar. I've seen that car in person and it is by far my favorite color FC.
