Looking to pick up a 07 TL but can’t decide on a first choice for color. I am currently looking at both NBP and CGP on black leather interior. Now everyone knows that a black car looks amazing when it’s clean but keep in mind we have winter here and they use a lot of salt on the roads.

Looking for opinions from members here who own either one of the two colors in terms of keeping it clean/scratches showing etc. Right now I’m leaning towards the NBP but let’s see what you guys think.

 

Scratchs will show more on the black but if you learn how to properly care for it in the wash / dry process and treat it right the marring can be minimal.

 

It is going to be YOUR car. What color do YOU like best? That is all that matters...

 

^^^ i think he just wants a second opinion for reference. I would go with CGP, because when you do get it scratched, it will be less noticable and also, CGP is a rare color compared to black. I like CGP cause it's unique and it looks just as good as NBP.

 

I have an 07 NBP and love it. It does take more effort to keep clean but it's not terrible. I live in MD and got hit with mad snow this winter. It hurt to see the car that way but every car was covered in salt and dirt; there was no way to get around it. Really though, you cant go wrong with either color.

Here are some of the more dirty shots of my car ...(sorry for the big pictures)







After the Blizzard:

 

That hurts to see those pics! My problem is I care too much about cars, trying to change but it's hard......

 

I know what you mean. I washed it even tho it was going to snow the following weekend just to get all that crap off lol

 

Silver is a very forgiving color-and a very classic one too.

 

Both my current vehicles are silver, looking for a change.

 

Black's too hard to take care of, but you already have two silver cars. How about another suggestion: carbon bronze pearl.

CBP's got the pearl, so it shimmers in the sun. It also always looks dirty, so you never have to wash it.

 

nbp needs alot of tlc...if you have the time go for it. if not dont...cuz you will hate urself for it

 

KBP

 

I have a cbp and it has got to be the best color at hiding dirt/scratches. It looks amazing clean too!!!!
