black looks good but its a hard color to spray. it shows orange peel easyer

Orange peel comes from the clear coat.
If orange peel comes out you can always buff it out.

Black looks the best, when it's clean....but it's hard to keep that way.

I'd have to disagree, I've owned both black and white....and white doesn't show the everyday dust near as bad as black. Oh well...GO BLACK!

^ +1... Extremely hard to keep clean. Looks great clean without defects like swirls, fading, oxidation, etc...

i think black looks great, it is quite hard to keep clean haha

If you don't polish them often.. They look like disaster under the sun... Bahh the swirls. Even fresh black cars from factories thats been "cleaned" (roll eyes) by the dealer!

Here is my car its been painted HOnda S2000 black called Berlina Black. In my opinion I think the Rx8 blacks looks better.

This is a picture of it being VERY DIRTY.

haha, keep telling yourself that. it might not be as hard to keep clean as black, but most white from the factory cars after 8 or 10 years start getting really mismatched in color depending on materials. Most other colors wont do that. Ive owned white cars and in my experiance they show dirt easily

this is what black will look like if you dont keep it clean. i havent washed/waxed my poor car in months.

Well, let's just ignore the fact that the previous car that I drove had white paint. It's 11 years old, and it looks so much cleaner when it's dirty than many cars I've seen. Especially when compared to my black fc.

Maybe so. I was going more by the life of the paint. Every one Ive owned, none of the body panels had the same color white after many years, even though they started out the same color. They seem to change colors more so than any other paint color Ive had. As far as keeping clean as far as dirt... no harder than any other car. reds pretty tough to keep clean, along with any dark color, white shows road debris more than others but light dust wont show as much

+6 or whatever number.

I say go for it though!
