Good guys wear black.
But also like the nbm look too.
I used to be a fan of midnight blue, but black with tints looks sick

I wanted black, but all they had in stock was NBM - glad I have it now.

How come BLACK is the only option that's capitalized?



I prefer black. All black.

Between black and NBM...I'd pick black. For either one, a Porter Cable is a must...unless you like swirls. That is the main reason why I purchased a pewter car...no swirls .

I like black better when in perfect shape... but nbm is maybe a tad less swirl prone, but not much

In terms of looking classic and sharp as hell when clean? Black.

In terms of being a bit different and not as completely touchy? NBM.
