getting my car painted soon

i'm getting my car painted soon, i'm not for sure what color i'm going to get, i was going to get it painted black, but he was going to charge more to get out all the dents and dings (because it has to be perfect because black shows an defaults?)..

so i'm thinking about viper red.

i have red interior , what color would look good ? pictures please

Black will show all the imperfections in the body then any other color. But IMO i would pay to get all the dings out and everything before it was painted....much nicer in the end. Or you could do the prep work and get the dents out your self and save a lot of money.

as for viper red, heres my car

BTW...the cops dont like it

Get it done right the first time and have the dents removed. It'll look much nicer in the end.
