nbm or som?

my car really needs to be repainted, me and my dad will be doing the paint ourselves this summer, so i now have to decided between repainting it nbm which is the color it is currently, or repaint som.

i love nbm but its so hard to keep clean, and som is a wonderful color but its probablly going to cost more for the paint.

im torn so please vote

I have NBM on my Camaro and love it, but a SOM T/A is one of the best looking cars out there IMO

SOM. It's such a beautiful color. And it blows NBM out of the water.

im going to have to do all of that with nbm aswell, well, the engine bay will be black no matter the color, and the hatch and door sills are horrible anyway and need to be repainted aswell,

im really leaning towards SOM, was my 1st choice but its always nice to see what others think

I think people get hung up on the fact that SOM is a rare color, which does automatically make it more desirable to some but looking at it from just a color prefrence, disregarding the build numbers, I'd have to go with NBM. Then again this thread is redic because color is 100% opinion. The OP needs to decide for himself or he won't be truely satisfied.
