Does the white hide body lines?

Yeah I like the white...makes the car look big n fat...but in a good way..haha

Thanks for the input everyone, I really appreciate it. All of the pictures in this thread do show the body lines very well but than there are also all the pictures that are a bit washed out and don't show anything so I really wasn't sure.

I bought white because it shows the lines.

No. The only one I have noticed to do this in person is the black.

Red is simply the best color for the 370Z and its curves and creases. It's a solid color so it also one of the easiest to touchup.

I do like the red but from what I have heard of Nissan's paint quality and such I would rather not deal with the issues of fading. My 2007 red Triumph 675 already has issues with that, its not a deep enough red and looks very washed out in direct sunlight.

I would have thought by now that Brit paints were up to par? I love the red on the 370Z.

I see lines.

Haha...colors are purely preference..some like white n some don't...trying to convince someone to like a certain color over another is about as useless as convincing my gf I go to hooters for the wings..lol

Being a PW owner there is nothing better than the pearl effect to make the lines of this car stand out. Honestly, at first I did not like the look of the 370z o hated it but one day I was driving down the road in my s2000 and saw a white one on a dealer lot. The sun hit the paint and I was in love! The solid solors show alot of the little scratches where as a pearl will hide those. I do have some close up pics of the pearl on my computer but not on my phone at the moment. I will post up the pics when I get the chance. Get PW or the graphite gray these two are the best colors and both have pearl coats.

Pearl White: Owners of neutral mindset.
Monterey Blue: Forum moderators or forum owners, and wannabe moderators (Semtex)
Brilliant Silver: Owners who want the easiest color to keep clean.
Platinum Gray: Owners who put too much money into aftermarket. (MiniCobra1, et al.)
Chicane Yellow: Miscreants. (KillerBee)
Magnetic Black: Sadists. Owners who spend their entire existence detailing their Z.
Solid Red: Owners who love a true sports car color!

All colors will appropriately show the lines of the 370Z given the lighting situation.
