Yeah, the flat black will dissapear worse than the silver does, but I don't care anymore. I had to remind myself that I need to pick a color that I like rather than a color that will get more attention. I don't care about attention really and when I look back on it, I have already accomplished my goals as far as media exposure go. So this one is just for me.

go with green it looks to me like it would match your body lines better and blue and black are overdone...

Sounds good. I was going to suggest a satin black with gloss black sponsor "roll call" and red annodized accents (like lug nuts, hood tie downs, etc...) and maybe a gloss dark red (try to match the annodized red) thin stripe down the side (styled kinda like the Nismo stripe with some breaks in it, but only 1/2" to 3/4" wide at it's widest).

My wife went shopping and a huge truck parked next to her. When they left, they also left a nice huge ding in the side of my drivers door....

I would much rather a new skin then bondo...

Why not do paintless dent removal. I have an awesome guy for that.

BTW: I have been talking with a guy from BASF Paints and he just informed me that I can have any color I want in a flat paint. That could be something that could turn out really cool...

yep...go with flat black....its a track car anyways. are you still going to put it in shows? gloss black wheels and gloss black decals/roll call. I think it would look sick as hell. It's going to be a hot one though come summer time. I'd say candy red with flat black vinyl if you were going strictly show. that's my favorite color on a car.
