Black Cherry?

If you want BC to look good. Keep it clean and waxed. dust makes it look like shyt brown and purple. Meguairs ultimate detail spray after washing and waxing will make sure the colors look deeper and more expressive as well.

I saw this thread has been around a while thought I would share my reasons for wanting BC...I just bought a BC roadster and it was because it had the options I wanted and it has a black top...I am not hating the burgundy top but I just never liked coloured tops other than black on any car...there were several cars in my price range available some were less expensive but had the burgundy top...I didn't get burgundy seats although I think they look great in the BC ...I did not buy new so I couldn't necessarily choose every option...I am in my 50's so I guess that bolsters the age theory because I like the yellow, blue and red Z's but I thought it would make me look like I was having a mid life crisis...I have been having a mid life crisis for the last 20 years but I just don't want it to show so bad...black is nice but common and I have had black cars before and it got boring...I just sold a silver car so that was out and I think the graphite looks too BMW sorry graphite owners no offence...my boss drives a beemer that colour and we park beside each other just wouldn't seem right LOL...I like white but my father has a white T-Bird roadster...I guess my point is we all make our choices for our own reasons and if we all had the same taste they would ony have to make one colour...not too sure my wife would choose this colour but I told her you spend more time inside the car so it is more important to like the inside colour...I like the fact that the colour changes in different lighting I have had several cars that did that and always got nice comments and questioned on what colour the really was....when people would ask me what colour my car is I would have to go look if I wasn't standing beside it LOL... metallic paint with more than one colour will do that...but the main reason I wanted BC is because it is the closest colour to my old 240Z and I am nostalgic that way...enjoy your car whatever the colour... it's a great car!!!

Well, I consider mine a quarter-life crisis.

That's my justification for buying it! "Because I can." or "Because I wanted to" doesn't seem to fly with some of my friends.

I am a dude and own Black Cherry and I love the color. But, like someone else mentioned, you have to keep it clean to really appreciate it. It looks more brown and purple when dirty. But when it's clean, the color gets richer and deeper and takes on a luster like you wouldn't believe. It's the coolest thing about the color, it shifts depending on the light. At night or low lighting it looks black. Which was my first choice. But in sunlight, the highlights look spectacular. I get a lot of compliments on the color. I do think it could be more towards the red spectrum so it was less brown. But love it as is.

What does everyone else think of the black cherry color? Be Honest. Heres a pic.

Honestly, black cherry is a color my grandma would like...

It's something different then anything on the road, chicks dig that and will think it's hotttt

MacCool · 04-06-2013, 04:02 PM

In the two years I've had my Black Cherry Z, I've found that it will go toward the red end of the color if the finish lacks depth and if there is any significant swirling or marring in the clear coat. When I polish it up as per Junkman/Adams and slap on a good paste wax like Americana, it gets a deeper and richer color and goes more toward black.

Great pics! Now that's the deep, rich look we're talking about. Hard to argue with shots like that. Simply beautiful.

I don't care what anyone says - that is pure sex. Fantastic shots.

Holy crap is that thing insane.... I have a BC Roadster I am just trying to clean up the swirls. That is stunning!

Hey the colour Black Rosé is awesome, I have a the same colour and I also have a pearl while both 370Z and the black rosé is a sharp colour, do not go and change the car as you will take a big financial hit. Once again I assure you that the black Ross is an awesome colour. Where are you located? I am in Calgary

alvitdk · 06-29-2013, 04:14 PM

BC was actually my first choice, but was not available when I needed it, so PW was my second choice.

I just love the color, it's beautiful in any light, special since not many people have it, And my ego is big enough That I never cared what people think, only my opinion matters in things I like.
