I agree with everyones comments on black. It will show every imperfection, bodywave and dings are easily detectible. The body has to be immaculate if you want black. Especially that darkest black you want, Jet Black. If your doing this yourself, I'd highly recommend a different color.

What it the logic behind this? If your car has sat for a while and the paint has cured, or even better been baked, I don't see the point in letting environmental contaminants have a free go at your new paint for 6 months. I waxed mine one week out of the shop.

ive heard no wax for the first 2 months, just mild soap and water till the paint has had time to cure...

Ok. Well how about this color? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/751857 I like this color on the supra. Does this one show imperfections as much as black?
