Well I think it's time for a paint job on the vert. I plan on doing this sometime this fall. I love my car in black, but when come down to keeping it clean it's almost impossible. Anyways here a few of my choices let me know what you think. Keep in mind this is my first with photoshop. What would you do.

I agree, your car looks amazing as is. I also have a 6th gen vert - now black but originally white. It is so true that black is impossible to keep looking clean without multiple washings/day. When mine is washed it looks great, but any dust or rain and it starts to show spots. Of the options you posted my vote is yellow. I guarantee that it will look hot and turn heads (not that it doesn't already). Also you might want to compare your colors to the top when it's up, Midnight Purple might clash with your solid black top.

I know this thread isn't about me but I'd like some input pls. My current problem is that my black vert is now chipping and is showing white near the undercarriage. I'm getting it painted next week and need to decide now: 1) keep it black, 2) return to original color - white, or 3) spend more money and go metallic silver - which my wife and I both agree would look incredible.

Guy at the autobody shop says its better to go back to original color = better resale value and more "accurate". Sure, but I'm not planning to sell her anytime soon!

Please help with opinions.

<new to forum will post pictures soon>
