Black w/ White stripes meatballs and fender stripes!
I am conisdering buying a new cobra this summer, and my color choice is 99.9% made up.
I want to go Black w/ White stripes and meatballs painted into the stripes. I would also like a red fender stripe(team stripe/rookie stripe/etc).
I've browsed the gallery and cannot find many. Turks old car is amazing and there is a backdraft, but would like to see more.
Also, owners with black cars. How difficult is it to keep them looking good? Do you have to wax/polish daily/weekly/monthly to keep swirls out of it? What do you use to wash/dry your cars.
I know it's the hardest color to live with, but it's my favorite!
Thanks in advance!
Blake

Blake, like they say: "Once you go Black.....You'll never go Back!"
My car's getting a black paintjob after Spring Fling if I can stay out of it long enough!

Well, if you take a black car to a car show, just about the time you get done finish detailing it for the show, it is dirty enough to need it again. Black looks awesome, but I'd never own a black car.

Black w/ a mini flake shadow stripe
There it is. Yep, I said it. Black with a flake stripe.
Come see it at the fling.
It is getting done as we speak.
Should have it back next weekend.
And I do agree with Mr. fix it Black is a pain in the a$$.
But ....I have a black Escalade, and my wife a black BMW.
And yes they are never clean for long.
But although, that may be a brief and fleeting moment,
they sure do look great !
