But I'm the kind of person who comes back to my car in the parking lot and checks to make sure I don't have any door dings; I don't park under trees and I avoid parking near sprinklers. (In LA, watermarks from the crappy sprinkler water are really hard to get rid of.) There's no argument that black looks mean as hell. I've also owned a pearl car, and it was much easier to keep clean. And things like scratches and little dings didn't show up as easily. Red has been just as easy. Black is only hard if you are in any way freaky about dirt/dust, waterspots, small scratches, etc. For me, it's not worth it anymore... |

I had a black car for 3 years that was kept mostly outside. It isn't as bad as many will make it out to be but it sure is a pain compared to any other color.
When it is clean though it sure is worth it.

I guess my point is with other colors you won't have to worry about that stuff nearly as much. Black just has the potential to drive you nuts, that's all. |

Now I am thinking white on black with white around the rims and white brake pads and black tinted windows. I attached a image that I kinda like that I found. Tell me what you think |

I really like the look of a black 370Z but I must say this car really looks good in white as well.
I'm guessing that any protective film that goes on the white will not show edges as easy as it does on black. Another consideration is if you are planning to get any carbon fiber parts and how that will offset against the color of the car. I powder coated my second set of sport wheels white (for track use) and have yet to get a picture of them on the car, but ....the white wheels look great with the black car imho.

Yea, the black Z looks gorgeous when clean. But keeping it that way is almost impossible. I love my black Z, but loved my Pearl white 350 alot better..didn't show scratches and dirt as easily; which is why I'm getting the car painted QAB Pearl white in a month Still leaving some black tho. Going 2-tone

A lot of people that I have talked to have said white on black so I am leaning towards that picture I posted right above. |

By ^ sounds like white is your color choice. White does look very good

Bt I am opting to get the pearl white paint soon. I think the Z looks best in that color since it shows off the curves abit more than other colors. And looks clean when a little dirty! |
