Default HELP!!! Need to decide

Ok. So its obvious that the paint on my car is shot. It is currently stock/Arctic white and I am going to get it redone soon (1-2 months)

Its a convertible with the tan top (for now) but I am going to change the top too, to a black one.

I dont know if I should paint it white again or go black (stock GM black).

What do you guys think?

IMO i would go black, but it depends on wether youre gonna take care of the cars appearance or not. If you dont have much time or intention of cleaning it, then white would be more convenient. White cars can look real good too with a few subtle appearance mods.

I have a black ws6 and a white gsxr and i wash my car once a week except in the winter. I hardly ever wash the bike, and it still looks clean lol

I wash my car all the time/keep it clean. The reason why the paint sucks is prior crappy/half assed body work done to it. I have had it for almost 4 years and the paint on the quarter panel is cracking bad. I actually like washing/detailing my car so black, in that sense, would be good.

I couldn't vote... Too tough a call. Black looks mean but hides some of the body features that make TAs awesome. White is clean, but not exciting to me.

Are you locked into stock paint? I saw a TA recently in a gun grey with black top... Looked really sweet and different but classy. (not metallic). I think they guy said it was based on an Audi color.

Exactly!

No, not necessarily. Where I am getting it painted, the guy is giving me a good deal on non metallic, that's why. If its going to be grey, it has to be a VERY nice grey, as in, "HOLY CRAP THATS BAD ***!"

I have time to decide, its not a rush, but I dont want to second guess myself when the time comes.
