      Silver will hide blemishes better and is easier to take care of. Both are great colors, but I vote silver. If you do end up going black do it dshwartz.

          You're doing a full, proper and complete respray right?

          If so, silver.

          If not, keep it original color.

              oh ya, it will be a full redone spray, but in consideration is price. How much will black paint, silver paint, and dshwartz paint run does anyone know. My friend has a booth, gun and everything, I just gotta find some paint and head over there.

                I have d-schwarz sitting around and will not be used, could send it to you with all the primer, cleaner and everything you need includin some metal filler, for a great discounted price, bought it all for $570, pm me if interested, like I said it will be a bargain.

                  That would be awesome, does anyone know what kind of price I would be looking at for silver. I am really torn between the two, but money is a big facter, so if I can get d-schwarz for a good deal from kansas-ix, then I would probably do that.

                    Another factor, I am going to tint the windows 5 %. aka super dark lookin black, what do you think that goes better with silver or black? My opinion is black but, that is only my opinion, I want to hear what other people think.

                          I vote DEPENDS.

                          If you can keep it superclean at all times, and plan to do some nice two-tone leather etc interior work, then by all means black.

                          If you CAN'T keep in clean, and plan on a black interior, then silver by all means, due to excellent dust-hiding properties.
