I am glad I got Gum Metal on my Z. It has proven to be a good color.

Love the gun metal. The midnight blue is really sweet as well.
I'd personally also put the silver in my top 2 Z colors, but my current car for the last 10 years has been silver. I'm ready for something new. |

Silver is too common in Phoenix. It's considered a Sun City color... Sun City is basically our "reservation" where we keep the old folks.

Yeah, I admit I love it on my current car. Looks less often dirty and the one ding I have is hard to spot. It's like chicks who wear black yoga pants. Nice at first glance, but you still won't see much with extra staring.

Now that I made my own spin-off of this thread, I'll answer THIS thread
In a word "no" When first buying my 370, I didn't care the color, just wanted a good deal. (No red though) I love the sleekness of black cars, just hate the scratches and dust (I JUST FOUND OUT IT WAS METALLIC!!! Lol), and I'm glad I didn't get PW because I've never seen a bumper that was painted within a few shades... I think the 40th is THE BEST color combo, then Gunmetal because it's so similar. But I do think my Monterey Blue is a GREAT color, it fits a sports car (in Dallas everyone and their mother had one while in CA, no one seems to have one ) I think the new MBlue, Midnight Blue, especially with the new rays is it's own masterpiece, it has color, but it's a bit more... "Police friendly" LOL!!! (Red brake calipers clash though)

I love my black Z, however to truly make a masterpiece of most bodykits/exterior accessories it's extremely hard to show bodylines when everything is black. For that reason only I wish my car was another color.
Although I could always paint the body kit another color, I don't want my exterior mods to look gaudy or intentional, if that makes sense. |

Black calipers blah??? While I agree that red and yellow look nice on SOME cars. How is black blah? I think for those who have gone with the black and white them or the all black theme. Black calipers make a stronger effect than say killing the whole stream with some bright azz intrusive colors.

I guess it's just me then. There are always exceptions, no doubt, but I wouldn't have my calipers any other color than what they are now, or yellow, on my car.
