White does rock on the Turbo II, especially contrasting against those dark tail lights, tint job on the glass, and deep looking TII rims. Personally I like a little tint in the paint that other colors have like medium blue, R1 yellow, midnight blue, Stormy Silver, Dark Red, etc...

Black is the "batman look" and tends to hide the exoticness of the 2nd gens. White looks great on the convertible & TII as the contrasting shadows between the lines of the car really enhance the look. Colors offer more of a "candy shell" exotic look which further enhances the car..

Just some food for though

what color to paint

Paint it brillant black, paint code PZ. You can go anywhere in black and always look good but you can't wear white after Labor Day! See what I mean:

Crystal white is the best.

But black is sexy too. Go with black. I would if my TIIs weren't AEs.

Black is better in my opinion, its just a huge pain in the butt to keep it clean and free from inperfection. I don't think I would personally paint my car black unless I had the money to have all the body work done and have it look as flawless as possible. White is the color of choice to hide inperfections.
