I love black too and it would be one of my top choices, BUT, I also own a black daily driver and it's WAY too difficult to keep it up, especially after 12 years.

On the other hand, this won't be your daily driver and will be kept in a garage. No paint is good.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. My neighbor down the street with an FFR had his paint sprayed by Street Rod Painter too. Looks very nice.

I went with black because it hides the C5's large azz better.
Will gravitate to a different color when I wear this one out and keep upgrading to the next level (C6). Started with a black C4 several years ago.

You are right...limited use vehicle will be MUCH easier to maintain. Doug, consider buying some Pinnacle Sovereign paste wax (about $85...not cheap! ) and it will make your dark cars truly POP. This is what I use on the Cobra, that and a spritz of Zaino #8 for maintenance.

Have they made a Corvette since 1967?

Actually, I like the C4's C5's and C6's, but have never pulled the trigger and actually owned one.

Evan has a black CSX and I remember Jerome's (the prison guard in Sacramento) had a black CSX, both are/were gorgeous.
