i don't know how the heck white is hard to keep clean. i've had white cars that havn't been washed for a couple months here and it doesn't show at all. Black shows in about two days.

oh i like white

Get black and treat yourself like royalty.

LOL - I have a Crystal Red Tint ZL1. It does get a lot of attention on the road.

My car is black, I just love the sleek look it has and when fully blacked out, to me, it just looks badass. Sort of bold but "sophisticated" and a lour of "Who's driving that car?" Leaves people to question and also leaves the cops questioning, where did that car go?

Depends on the paint. Both my current cars are black and the Camaro shows it a bit more than the G6. Also had a white car a while back that showed it the second you started driving after a car wash

Silver Ice Metallic is my favorite; very easy to black out some of the chrome for a very nice contrast without going overboard black on black on black. Here's an example (not my car as it's still a work in progress, unfortunately):

My Camaro is black. I don't care what it says (or doesn't). I got a good deal and that was the color it happened to be. (literally the cheapest Camaro I could find within a 200 mile radius, advertised brand new for less than $19k. I wasn't going to argue about color.

Silver Ice Metallic is the most maintenance-free finish I've ever had on one of my vehicles. If you wash it, dry it, and wax it correctly... it stays looking good for a long time with minimal effort. I love it.

You've apparently never lived anyplace where there's rain and dirt.

Description says Phoenix, so there ya have it. Desert dust is surprisingly clean compared to rain, just wipe it off.

What if you have 2 colors? Are you that much more BA?

mako22 · 06-09-2014, 11:55 AM

I love the look of black but hated battling the swirls that inevitably come with it. My first white car and it is such a relief not to have to worry about that. Plus you can find ways to add a little color
