but black covers everything whereas white might collect dust and dirt during the paint process.

Yup. White is damn hard to match. Black is the hardest, but when done right, it looks the best IMO. I may be a little biased though.

I had a Frost white (OEM color) EJ1 and had 3 different painters paint my side moldings and still couldn't get it to match. White is definitely hard to match.
