Best Color for the Sun

Go with the colour you like - if you maintain the paint I suspect it will last for a very long time even if its in the sun all the time. Its pure conjecture to say that a light paint will last longer because it reflects light. Who's to say it won't oxidize faster regardless of its ability to reflect light.

I suspect ordnance and munitions lockers are white for heat not because the paint is less likely to fail....

Actually I'm Going to a dealer which seem to just gotten shipment of 370z. I'm hoping that they would have a Brillant Silver in base with Auto, or a Pearl white in base with auto. thank for all the replies. I hope that I will like this Z this will be the second Nissan I've ever Driven. The other being my friend's modded g35.

Yea my bad I read the OP wrong. I always thought metallic paints were quickest to fail but wtf knows why I thought that.
