Well..I have been debating on whether to paint my car black for sometime now. I am just scared of doin it though...as I see black cars on the streets, with massive swirl marks on them. However, I dont drive my car that often at all...maybe 2 to 3 times a month. I was wondering...do you guys forsee these problems..of neverending swirls marks you cant do nothing about ? Or even.

Basically..I want to know your insight as a Black car owner..on whats my Ups and downs about painting my car black..

Last but not least...Post some pics of Black integra..so I can drool

Check that. There has to be atleast a few black ones in there.

 

oh...and black looks soooo good with bronze/gold rims. IMO.

 

I have a black 01 GSR and it blows, its so hard to keep my car clean. And dirt shows up so fast. I'm actually painting mines burgundyish, or house of color candy blue because black is such a pain. It is the sh*t when its all waxed up and no cars or sprinklers splash water up on me. And drying it after you wash it is a pain too.

 

try owning a white one... its harder to keep clean

Very nice.

 

when do i get to see the engine pics of this sweet ride

 

The car I had before my teg was white and my other car right now is silver, and I never had a problem keeping either one clean, black is a serious pain. And dings and scratches show oh so well on a black ride.

talk to 2lowintegra, he has a pretty dope integra..

 

its not that hard to maintain a black car and plus you said you only drive it 2-3 times a month, so it shouldn't be that bad

OMG, that integra with jdm front and m00gen wing is HOT

 

yup EPGonzalez's car is sweet
Black is a PITA to maintain but looks awesome when clean. If you're only driving it on rare occasions it should be fine.

 

yea black is a PITA

 

Here is Lyonel's ride, I think it is a damn sexy RHD DA6!!!

 

Black looks f@#king mean when its clean..

Just good luck keeping it clean
