Black is a pain in the butt to keep clean and blemish free When my car is due up for paint one day, I will probably take the easy way out and paint it white, throw on some tints and black ZR-1s and call it a day. Long story short, your car looks good as is.

Yeah your car looks awesome, don't change it to black. You can find black cars all day long, but you can't find colors like yours as much. The only thing I'd recommened is the racing strips in black. I had a dark blue 94 Camaro with black racin strips, wings west ground effects (that looked like yours), RKsport spoiler and chrome salad shooters that looked good and I stood out from everyone else.

Yeah, man, I gotta agree with everyone else. Better to stand out and have a different color. You could do some cool things with the color you have, too... ghost stripes, ghost flames, stuff like that would look awesome on that color.

Black looks awesome when its clean. But its very hard to keep it clean. And every little scratch and blemish shows.

I was going through your decision a few weeks ago, I'll be getting my car painted soon and 3rd gens look 10x as awesome in black (and you don't find many black ones, at least in good condition), but I decided not to go with it mainly due to me being a perfectionist.

On your car, I'd keep it the same color or a similar color.

black is the devil. unless you park your car in a garage for work and at home, it will never be clean and shiney.

Changing colors on these cars are a pain because you really need to remove the engine to change color since they aren't factory black engine compartments. I have a factory black car so its not a big deal if i change color since i have a black engine compartment already.
