      Black cars

      When I was looking to buy a car I found a pretty nice black 69 that I was considering.
      I talked to Steve Rupp (member here) and he made a comment that has stuck with me.
      "I love black on other peoples cars"
      Nothing looks better than a well done black car.
      But I sure don't want to have to take care of it.

      Why not go with a white car, they look pretty nice with black rims. Also, white is a breeze to take care of. they look clean forever until someone leans up against it and makes a clean spot.

      mine was a single stage,then i redid it,its was going to be sliver and red flames,the the painter screwed it up.and it went back to black.

      90% of the pro's use sinle stage paint for solid colors.red,black,blue etc.they are deeper and easier to paint.i,m really surprised my car is has deep has it is with clearcoat,some blacks get a milky or dull color when cleared.

      When I get mine painted, chances are its going to be black.

      And yes, I am going to use a single stage...

      The only thing to keep in mind with black is that it will show every little blemish and imperfection! But oh it looks soooo good!!!

      Black is a beautiful color long as you have alot of free time to detail it. Trust me on this my daily driver is a black and burgandy truck. Looks awesome for a day or two.
