Also really love the new magma color.

Red is almost as hard to keep clean as black though PITA!

No regrets. That said, I'm looking at a matte white wrap to change things up for a while lols.

How much does a wrap cost? Like 2k right? Give or take

Yep. About 2k, from reasonable/reputable shops I've called around.

I like my Solid Red (A24). However, I'm not a huge fan of the easily chipped paint and swirl marks. After a clay-barring session and a coat of Mother's Brazillian Carnuaba Wax, though, the Zee looks mightly sexy!

I wish mine was a darker graphite color, which wasn't available for several years as Nissan slowly darkened the PG color in the later models haha.

4 Pages and no Black Cherry love?

I love mine!

Before buying my 370Z, my first choice was red. But after I saw a CY, it just looked right on the Z. It's definately a head turner! Funny thing is however as much as I love the color yellow on the outside, there's something about driving it and seeing a yellow hood that I'm still not used to and I've had the car for almost 10 months. Maybe it's because I've never had a yellow car before. Hard to explain! Anyway, my next Z will either be red or white or maybe black cherry! Oh ya, I should add that yellow is very easy to keep clean.

yeah my dad had a red Dodge ram and i remember how quickly the swirl marks would appear. the color really pops though!

I dont think the z color palette is the greatest in the world. The colors i thought that were decent were Chicane yellow. Lasted one year. Gun metallic, black & monterey blue. While i think the refresh sucks. I think 2013 was blessed with two great colors. midnight Blue and magna red.

I have gun metallic and think it looks the most high quality aside from the black and white colors. But white is my least favorite.

I regret the black cherry. My next z hoping in the next few years I'll go with gun metallic, or whatever the variant is, or that midnight blue is looking sick.

I regret it because its a pain to maintain, like the black, so I'm almost never happy with how it looks because every little swirl shows so easily. IMO, the color looks amazing on cloudy days, but that sucks I don't really drive it in the rain so it just sits in the garage on those days haha.

It's a love/hate relationship for sure.. but it is a very unique colour and does look fantastic when in the right light and all shined up!

Started shopping by looking for a Pearl White or Midnight Blue. Never really wanted a black car due to the maintenance (and I'm a clean car freak). Oddly enough, I ended up buying a Magnetic Black Z. It's super sexy when clean and I since it's not my DD I went for it. No regrets so far, but I know the pain that lies ahead with trying to keep her clean...

I wish the 370z had the electric blue from the 350 years. I love that color.

Midnight blue will be just as hard to maintain as black.

I know, but the color pops more. I'm just glad the black has some metallic flakes in it vs just being a solid black.
