    Hey Guys,
    Finally! I dropped her off today... You all know that I wanted Satin or Flat Black, but after hearing all the advice form your guys, I changed my mind again! I am getting a Gloss Black....I know, I know (my body guy called me "Chicken" this morning) but I am a woman and its my right to change my mind:rolleyes: ...But anyhoo..she'll be done by Saturday, and I will post pics as soon as I get home...Talked to Wes today and they are coming out to Vegas next week, so she should look pretty good by then(y)

    yeah, I really like black. But it is a pain to keep clean.
    Looking forward to seeing pics.

    Gloss Black!

    Gloss paint is far easier to clean than a flat or satin finish. You'll
    be very happy with gloss paint on the car :) Can't wait for the
    pictures.

    there are 2 reasons why i dont like black as much...

    1. hot as hell out here in the desert....tucson....
    2. scratches show up realy easy...little swirlies everywhere...


    why i llike black


    it shines like no other....when its painted right it is AWESOME


    good luck on getting it done....cant wait to see those pics....

    i am painting mine stock green... not sure what the name is,...but its a medium metallic green....and then i will darken it a shade or two.....maybe some pearl in the clear...not sure yet
