It's more neutral of a color and it's not booger green. It will be easy to take care of.

I have one black car, looks great when clean, but a pain to keep clean. I have had a couple of white cars, they were easy to keep clean. Plus we are putting some color acsents on it. Dendy Racing on the hood and the drvers names and hand prints on the front fenders. And then pin stripes down the sides

Ya, I know...........Just a little discouraging right now. I hoped we'd be working on projects already, but I made my mind up that I wasn't going to do any work until everything was put away and the place was ready to go. It's just going to take some more time, but I'm determined to do it right the first time!

It HAS changed a bunch since you were here...................

Black is the absence of all color. White is the presence of all colors.

I do like the two tone colors on the Ford trucks where the paint the hood and bottom white. On mine the blue shows the dirt more than the white, but that just may be that the middle of the truck gets the heaviest of the gravel road mist.
