Scratching Silver Satin

How does our paint do with dark colors.
I have a silver baby & scratches aren't that bad. I was planing to get the dark blue or gray CL now, but i didnt want to face the problems & headaches of scraches. What do you guys suggest??

I got rid of my Black TL and got a 2003 Silver Type S. OMG what a difference - nothing shows at all. Its so much easier to take care of. No more black cars for me

I have a blue TL-S and the scratches are white underneath. Most of the little ones you can't really see, but if they are deep enough... you'll notice it. It's really not fair to compare silver to darker colors b/c silver will ALWAYS hide those types of things better....

Some punka$$ decided to key my car from front hood sidewall to trunk sidewall. I didn't even notice it until I washed my car. The scratch would've been very noticable on a dark car, but I can barely see it on my SSM. Go with light colored cars.
