White. Tan or grey or any color thereabouts would be best, though. What are you painting and why have you limited yourself to those choices?

That's because yellow cars suck unless they're making 500+hp and shitting bras and panties out their exhausts, i.e., not Hondas evAr.

White shows less flaws but is harder to keep clean.

OOOO your trying to paint. Ok heres the deal. Spraying diff colors isn't the problem its getting the technique down that is the problem. The only types of paints that are more difficult to spray without expierience are metalics. Just let me know if you need details.

umm......cant you get some color matched primer or something close to it....like get a black car but when painting it, paint it with black primer.....usually paint chips only go down to the primer.....so, black would be best with black primer......white woule be best with a light grey or white primer....
