Blue will look better with less body work. And black will always be dirty even just after cleaning it but looks really nice when clean.

Re: blue or black????

That's a personal preference question - all you'll get is opinion here, based on who reads this question and who answers. It all comes down to what YOU want, not what we like.

But here's something to think about - it costs almost twice as much to repaint another color, since you'll want door jambs painted and other parts so that it's not readily apparent as soon as you open the hatch, hood, or door that the car changed color. It takes alot of extra work (ie labor costs) taping off interior, motor, hatch, etc. to spray door jambs and such without overspraying the interior and such. Most folks that repaint a different color gut the car entirely (no interior, no motor, no carpet, etc. for a clean look.

Good luck!
