Alternative reasons for choosing a colour...

Ok, so colour is a personal thing, but there must be some weird reasons why you went for the colour you did.

Black is actually renowned for showing dirt easily but it looks very good when it's absolutely spangly.

I had originally chosen grey but living in Scotland thought that with the amount of grey days we have that the car might just fade into the background.

Changed it to Black and got the tints and am very happy with it even if it is a b1tch to keep clean  :shocked:

black looks beautiful when the car has been washed, polished and waxed !!!!!!

to get there though it takes 2/3hrs of work and then the car stays beautiful for a 1 or 2 days.
I love the way water just rolls off the car when it rains when the car has been waxed  :cool:
