Nothing looks better clean and nothing looks worse dirty.

Doesn't take much to start looking nasty if you DD it. I'm not obsessive about it so I deal with it fine.

Black is my color, I can't bring myself to buy anything else because I can accent it wi just about any color.

Way to common.

love black, ye you have to be ok with washing it more but the return is way worth it!

BMWW · 08-09-2015, 04:55 PM

If you really want a clean looking car, stay away from black. Yes the Camaro's in my opinion look gorgeous in black, but it is such a pain in the butt to keep clean. I think I spend more time cleaning than driving it. It is the only thing I really hate about my Camaro, that I can't keep it clean.

Black vehicles rule!

My previous 4 cars were black. It's a beautiful color on just about any car, it really shows off the lines.

If you are obsessive about a "clean" car, meaning every water spot and spec of dust gives you a panic attack, then no, don't do it. I would also say if it rains alot where you are, stay away. However, I got by by keeping a good duster, and detail bag with microfibers and detail spray on hand.

For now,,, I will say never again.. The Hyper Blue would be the way I would go.

The tread title made me think you were looking for African American Camaro owners!

I have a black vert. its always garaged and not driven in rain. frankly, its no more work than any other color. its gets dusty a bit, but so what? rest of car still clean.
to me, any dark color will be higher maintaince than say, white or silver.
I liked the dark blue color on a Camaro when I was buying, but, as dark as it was, it would show the same amount of dirt as black.
OP, if its going to get dusty a lot, it will show more than a white or silver one. good luck

Kinda racist.

It depends on how anal you are about dust,dirt and scratches? Not to mention finger prints. If it's a daily driver and those things don't bother you then it won't be an issue for you. Black shows EVERYTHING and can be a chore to keep the paint looking awesome but, with that said it is a good looking car when it's kept up.
