In the end its all your choice....but IMO black is to common, i was first gonna paint mine black, but then i realized its to common. Then i decided to go with silver/ or a grey met. but those are starting to get popular too. so 4 hours before the shop was gonna spray my car i changed the color again

The questions i asked my self were:
1. what colors do i like to see on cars?
2. do i want to really stand out on the street?
3. do i want a normal color, or be unique?
4. is my car a daily driver or a weekend toy? (some colors are better for daily drivers than others)

it took me over a month to pick my final color, and 15 or so paint samples sprayed on a sheet of aluminum. find a good paint shop, and they will work with you to make sure you are happy in the end.

good luck

How many good looking black thirdgens do you acutally see? I have the only good looking one and there are 2 other shtay ones and the another 2 are white. Black reflects and shines real good, but if you have inperfections in your body/paint then you won't like looking at it every day, white can sorta hide the small ding's and dents way better than a black paint job.

2. easier painting...dont have to do jambs and such
3. it just looks great!
