Gunmetal or Flat Black?
 
I can not decide on which one is better. So I would like some opinions. I would like to get my car painted gunmetal, but then again I have always liked flat black. Any opinions?

gunmetal.... flat black is a biotch to keep clean and looking nice. Perhaps an eggshell or satin finish black would work though...

Thanks! Alot of people said gunmetal too. I guess it will be different, Ive seen alot of flat black miatas.

i would go with the evo mr gunmetal or the gunmetal color off the 03 04 cobras.
flat black is getting old. and unless you do like a matte black or semi gloss it scuffs whenever you rub anything up against it.

Too many other cars been done in flat black.
Since you are in a pickle about color... combine the two and go with flat gunmetal/graphite. (actually, it's not really flat..it's technically "satin" or "semi-gloss"..true flat paints look like complete shit)

ups brown
10th anniversary blue
msm orange
ford f150 egg shell


If the unthinkable ever happened to my car and I needed a new shell it would be UPS brown. I'd also like to note that I did not suggest the most awesome color of them all because its a secret and you're a queer.

Lexus diamond white.

if i were to do a satin color it would be dark satin blue or satin army green for sure.
one of my other favorite colors would be a metalic forest green.

I personally think BSB is the best color ever....

This is the only car i would own in a matte/Satin Black finish
Attachment 206693

But this color.. Go to your local Subaru dealership and ask for an Impreza or Legacy in Satin White Pearl
No picture can do it justice.
I have this waiting for my FC to be painted
