Color Catastrophe

[cinema guy]

In the world according to my mother, colour is the most important thing about a car. When I buy a new one, it is the only question she will ask about it.

There's also the notion of getting the car painted afterwards....

Yeah...if you feel like dropping about five grand for a decent paint job. And by "decent," I mean one that's not a Maaco-style "spray-right-over-the-old-paint/rust/crap-and-have-it-peel-in-6-months" job. One that's been done right, and sanded back for a mirror finish

Although, when I bought my last 2 new vehicles, I don't recall having to put down a deposit on a particular color. The dealers simply called around, and had my cars delivered--the Mazda came from Indiana, PA...and the Toyota came from Philly. I suppose it would have been easier and faster, had I not wanted a five-speed

Personally, I'd go with grey too; not too light, not too dark, doesn't show dirt as much as black.

Generally doesn't get quite as hot as a black car in the summertime, either.
