White vs Silver - easiest Maintenance
 
Which is easier to keep clean? Or they both on the easy side

Silver. Silver is also to paint-match if you ever have any body damage. The white is a pearl which is very difficult to match.

White isn't an easy color to keep clean. Seriously, you never wore a white tshirt? Silver hides the dirt, and imperfections.

Dirt is hard to see on my PW. Also... the contrast with the black wheels, chrome accents, and taillights.... you won't care about a little dirt when you see one in person :stirthepot:

My take is that the Brilliant Silver is probably the most forgiving of the two but they are both good choices and easy to live with. I almost got the pearl white, it's a really sharp color, I was actually going to get the pearl white because I was tired of silver (we were trading a silver car, we've had several black cars, the yellow and the blue were a bit much for the wife, the red was a little dark for my taste, but the charcoal gray almost made the cut) but literally at the the last minute I chose the brilliant silver-the sun was shining and the silver with the black interior seemed to be a bit more special. Also of note that brilliant silver is the color of preference for the 2010 370Z sales literature and according to the dealer is the best on trade-in value. The white does well on trade-in as well.

I certainly would pick the one you liked best-upkeep would be a secondary consideration, the Z looks great in several colors. My car is garaged so keeping it clean isn't too hard but if keeping it clean is a problem and you really don't have a preference the silver should be easier to live with.

PW and paint chips don't go well together... :|

Silver by far and away, although Platinum Graphite seems to be very adept at remaining presentable even with some light dirt.

SILVER!!! Easiest color to maintain EVER. I had two silver cars (silver camaro and silver 350Z). I would wash the car once a year and people would still think it's clean!

Silver ftw. My DD is silver. I haven't washed it in 6 months and it looks cleaner than my black Z that was washed a week ago and sits in the garage.

Must be nice I have to wash my PW every week or it starts to turn black from road grime

Other than Black, White is the hardest color to keep clean and looking fresh... PW doesnt hide the dirt at all.. dirt is black-grey car is white... doesnt go well together..

Every 3-4 days my car is washed to keep it looking clean.. my silverstone S2000 was awesome in that regard, It always looked clean...

I love white because it looks real classy and sharp when clean but its def a pain to keep clean...

as far as paint matching any good shop should be able to match the paint , but it is more difficult than other colors..
