My answer would be biased, seeing as my car is white



White gets just as dirty as any other color if not more. And it shows, oh it shows.

You cant go wrong with ether white or black, both are classic.

Only benefit is see of white is, it shows more lines and you can rock NISMO decals on it. Black not so much.Decals like on this 350Z on hood, I would totally rock them if I had white paint.

Black for me please. ,as they say once you go black you dont go back.

i agree and disagree with that. it shows actual dirt, but common dust, etc won't really show up. imo white cars look cleaner then most, while black looks dirtier then most since it shows all the dust

White is easyer to take care of and black you will see all the dents and dings and black if you go through the car wash a lot you'll get though horrible swirl marks so if you want easy go white

Think white is the cheapest color-> Price wise. I'll say it now so people with white paint wont get offended. Most people dont want white or dont like it. I was told by some one that works at body shop, and you can see. When you buy a car you pay extra for wild colors. I dont know if this is true or not (maybe a mith). White tends to be the cheapest, and if you do it right. You car will look better than most paints. There I said it, I have black paint, but white if you do it right will look great too. Oh snap that last line rimes

If you going to paint it white. And in future change panels or put aero. Just make sure you blend and get right shade for paint. Because then white looks like $hit, when you dont match shades.

If you putting it back on, than just use good quality painters tape. Just so paint wont run and drip into your car. If you want you can us old news paper or that painting paper, and mask off the area from underneath. But I dont know how Macco preps their cars paint.

If your getting rid of spoiler, well than welding and bondo/body filler would be the right way t do it.

GL, I wan to see pic when you get it done.
