I feel that I have made the commitment to keep my metallic black car looking its best but for me its a true DD and right now its covered in salt and muck but its protected under all of that and cleans up nicely when I can wash it.

but you gotta admit when done right, pure black is pure awesome

because I can't get enough.....

I have to agree on the beauty of a non-metallic black car. There are a couple Mercedes E-class sedans and one particular Lexus IS 350 F Sport near where I work which are very well maintained and look spectacular.

However, I'm quite happy with metallic black paint and like Klasse Act, I probably will stay with metallic. Due to the climate (i.e. salt/sand/ice/snow), and pace of life, I don't have the time to maintain a solid black car the way it deserves.
