What color should I go with?

Anyone that has a favorite color or something like that on a SC could you post if for me? Im painting my car and am not sure if I want to go with white again.

Just looking for opinions and pictures.

Rock Out.

I like black of course.

If you do a color change, make sure its done right (engine bay, door jambs, etc.)

I actually just decided on black. Yes I was sitting here, staring at my computer, and decided there is nothing meaner than a black car.

The door jams will be black as well but the engine bay will have to wait. Its actually a medium silver like the car was oroginally so it wont stick out horribly like white would. I will paint it myself when I swap the new motor in.

Good choice

They are a pain to keep clean, but when they are clean they look damn good.

ive always loved white SC's, ive not ever seen a black one that i can recall, if was to go with a color again, medium quasar blue is a awesome color. my car now is black, when its clean it looks really nice, but once u drive in the rain once or twice after u cleaned it, it looks horrible once again

Yeah I know it shows more but the car is pretty straight and if I do everything right and take care of it there shouldn't be a problem.
