Trying to buy a new Z

Yeah I thought so.

I'm still debating on what color to get.

*Brilliant Silver = +Looks clean longer, +scratches & dents are not as visible,
*Monterey Blue or Pearl White = +Has metallic flake, +/- Not sure how clean it stays
*Black = +The color I really want, -Gets dirty quickly, -scratches and dents are more visible

Is there anything I'm missing? Btw I hear Nissan's paint quality is garbage. I've had a bad experience with red on my altima. Is it true about all the colors?

not sure about Monterey Blue myself either, but from reading the posts over the last 6 or so months i've been lurking around this site, blue seems to get the least complaints about looking dirty.

Blue does a pretty decent job of keeping clean-looking, yet when the pollen is out in full force all bets are off!!

For the first time this week I let it go two weeks without washing and was surprised to see how well it did. If only I could keep the love bugs and bird shyte at bay!
