MG with persimmon or PG with persimmon help!

Ry244 · 01-18-2010, 07:51 PM

Like the MG better I think but have no experience with black cars. Not so much worried about dirt and the car not looking pristine all the time, however I 've heard stories that black just looks like crap after a while. Sun damage/fading ect.. Any MG owners out there, give me your opinion. Actually saw a black one the other day. It was dirty and I thought it looked cool dirty lol

MG? MB?

I'm hovering between Blue and the Graphite. Either with persimmon as well. They are drastically different colors, but I have a few months to settle.

My last Z was black. It was really pretty when its clean, but it also looked really dull when it was dirty. I think there is always that stigma with black cars, its hard to keep clean and its awesome when it is. I went with PG for the 370 and its just a really nice color in my opinion, and everyone compliments me on the color choice. But even at its best, I never got the same great compliments as I did with my freshly waxed black Z.

I have PG with Persimmon and I don't regret that decsion one bit. I have a brand new Subaru thats black and all the visual imperfections in the paint i can see just irritate me. Makes me glad i didn't get the Z in black.

Thanks all, Leaning more towards PG. I think the black looks better new but not sure i want to deal with it. Anyone have any insight on the persimmon getting dirty looking over time?
