I know I can paint it pink if I want to but here is the question. Are there any colors that are easier to deal with, for example I was considering all jet black, are there any reasons why not to do this such as maybe it will show imperfections more than green or something like that. I'm considering going with black fenders no matter what the rest is painted. I would really like some opinions here. Dave

It sure shows the dirt and dust too. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 | Dark green body and black fenders is nice.
Yes, black shows all imperfections.
Tan body and black fenders is really nice.
