Black or a dark charcoal color? Some ass smacked into my car so it's time for a new paint job. You guys have any suggestions between black and a dark charcoal?? Any pros or cons about the colors? I know black eventual gets swirl marks in it

Hey all, I was just at Charlotte car show this weekend, and saw the best color for a car. It's a little different, and that is what I like. Might not be for anyone, but if you want to stand out this will do. The flames are cool, but I would not add them, just the paint. Any thoughts????

I like that gunmetal color, Just a little darker though, I had a 89 Mustang ssp that dark charcoal color im thinking about and i loved it. Just wondering if it would look weird on the cl. But im leaning more towards black though.

If you are even thinking of selling it, painting the car is going to be a waste of money. It wont pay off in the resale value.

I'd probably do a really dark cherry red. I think that would look hot on a CL

I don't remember there officially being a flat black CL on Azine but...

There was a photochop done that I saved. The lines on the CL aren't sharp enough to compliment flat black.
