What do you think is the best black color for a car?

Mercedes Benz Compressor? Honda City?, Toyota Altis? Hyundai Elantra? etc.

Why?

black connotes formal. thus, it's the biggest cars that look best in black. cadillac.. lincoln.. stretch limos. twelve cylinder racketeers and hearses! heh heh.
but strangely, i find rolls not to look good in black. to me, they look best in off-white or silver..

I've seen a deep black paint job of Tuason's Wet Look and I think it's the best black paint job here.

I like yung parang flat black on some car models. Pero wala atang stock na ganun?

I don't really like black cars. I find white the most appealing color.

Black with a clean, deep gloss will be the winner.

On the down side, black, as well as with many dark colors, are high maintenance. Dust, dirt, scratches and essentially any blemish or uneven body work becomes very noticeable. If not taken cared off, black cars tend to look older than they really are.

This is correct. My black car's paint is the hard to maintain. If you get a light scratch and use polishing compound to try and polish it off, it leaves a somewhat oily residue on the finish. The only way to get rid of it is to use black detailer.

And to answer the question, only large cars look good in black. I see compacts and sub-compacts in black and they just don't look as good as a larger car. This is just my opinion though.
