They guys are all correct , a black car that`s clean and waxed looks great ! ( for all of 5 minutes!) BUT if you have the elbow grease , go for it , personnally I`d NEVER have a black car, too hot here in Texas , but anytime you`ve got a repair or such its THE hardest color to 'repair' ,while white is easiest...the darker the color the easier it shows dirt ,dust etc and harder to 'spot' if you need a repair ( hope you wont have to) , and the lighter the color , the easier.. just a thought. When I got my car it was red (originally it was midnight green) , even though red was not my color , I kept it when repainting it , for the reason noted above , the insides of trunk and door jambs etc ,were fine and if you keep same color ,its lots easier and cheaper to stick to the same color....
