Thinking about having the car repainted

As the title states, I am considering repainting my 2011 Black SS. Unfortunately, this paint sucks!! I have gotten the car detailed multiple times and it always looks great besides the million rock chips, visible orange peel and what not. I can not take it. Especially when I am next to other black vehicles. It's embaressing!!!!

Any recomendations or anyone have paint issue solutions.

If you do, paint it another color. Black shows everything on a daily driver.

There is a member on here that did his whole car in olive drab/Military green. It looks great.

Paint it Summit White! Heck, you'll hardly even see water spots. Best decision you'll ever make!
