    Colors you hate

    We all have them,those colors that we just don't like to do.
    For some it's black because it's too much work (it's my favorite) and for others it's white

    For me it's medium to dark reds,,I honestly hate them,I struggle through everyone I do but is it the color or is it me?

    I have an extremely difficult time picking out swirls,holograms and imperfections in it with my eyes and no other colors give fits like these do.

    I was wondering if anyone else has these same kind of problems with colors or if I'm just weird

    Re: Colors you hate

    I hate the boring colors such as anything metalic, whether it’s silver or something like this beige..



    I pretty much hate the color of my Cadillac. It bores me to death. Lol. I’d clean it twice as often if it wasn’t this boring color.



    Most times you can polish a vehicle with those similar metalic paints and can’t even see a difference. They’re the worst.

    My favorites are black..



    And red... Colors like these really pop. I love it.

    Bandaid color

    Why would anyone want a car the color of a bandaid?

    haha! I call it old-man-tan but now that I'm getting old.....but I still don't like tan so I'm good

    Personally, I don't like doing White or Silver as they are more difficult to see imperfections on. That said, I can bring out any imperfections under what I call my "ugly lights" that tend to show everything. I even hate pulling my personal vehicles in there under them

    The older I get I tend to dislike the lighter colors i.e.white,silver and beige. It's harder to see what's going on while I'm working as it seems my eyes can't focus on a section but rather sees the whole panel

    White. My last Silverado was white and I got bored quickly of detailing it. I loved the look when it was freshly detailed, but I just couldn't stand it any longer.

    I used to be afraid of black. It can be fun to work on, but I don't plan on owning another one.

    Beige, silver, tan, especially if they're metallic.

    Total snooze fest.
