If I had to repaint my car it would be very hard to stick with black. Keeping it clean and looking good is a complete pain in the ***, I hear that NBM is almost as bad as black to keep clean, but it looks really good. I personally would consider going with EBM, SOM, Yellow, or some other custom color.

Since we're just throwing colors out there; Paint it Rally Green!

I agree with whoever said to paint it a color that's not stock.

Painting it a stock color that isn't stock for the car is a waste IMO. There are tons of nice looking blues that look a million times better than the stock shade (which is nice, but its also stock...)

Black is nice but hard to keep looking nice, it has to be clean.

So black or find a new color is my answer. Creativity is fun.

i'd say the Vette Electron blue OR as said a nice pearl white. I think that could look pretty badass i've been tossing the idea of repainting mine a custom color such as a lambo pearl orange or a pearl white i love black
but wouldn't mind a change as well

Deep Copper Metallic with black SS stripes. Think '70 Chevelle. I own a black car but love colors that you rarely see done.

But if its black or blue then I say NBM looks sweet, black looks evil. What matches your personality?

I have owned both, go NBM, it is BADASS. Plus, everyone in is mother has black and it is IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean (although NBM is not too much better). If this is a daily driver I would consider painting it a lighter color. It would make it much easier to keep clean.
