Something that isn't gloss black because thats what colour mine is :P

Anything not metallic. Something bright without being really stand-outish. Blood red?

dents arent major aye, im just a bit of a perfectionist i geuss :roll: i think it does need a respray though coz its got quite a few chips and scratches around the car and its not the thickest coat (can see undercoat in places when suns on it)

silver is the easiest colour to keep clean/polish, but black (like bmw black) ftw for sexyness

Dark silver ftw. Not quite normal silver, but not quite gunmetal grey either.

Only thing I find with silver on older cars, it tends to make the chrome blend in, it always looks better if it stands out a bit more.

white, white white!! only colour i would paint my car (apart from the red of my sr). oldschool cars look MINT with a nice white paintjob. only problem though is you're going from black to white, obviously a black respay over black would be real easy.
