Question: Black or Metallic Black ???

[gmhowe]

I have a Black 85 that has the clear coat coming off badly ( damn Phoenix sun), I am gonna have it painted but wondering should go with the same Black or give it a Metallic Black ( no extra charge ) ? This would go with my Silver 96 CE LT1 ( my Oakland Raiders cars Black and Sillver)

Actually its Maaco here in Glendale, AZ. They showed pictures of several different Cx series that they had done and all looked great, along with the cars that they had there when I went and got the estimate, will take about 2 weeks

no to metallic, and hell no after that

I vote NO!
I had a Mazda RX-7 with a metallic black paint called sparkling black. At first i thought it was the way to go, however under most lighting conditions the metallic made the paint look dull and sometimes grey. A brilliant black is tough to keep clean but the way to go.
Also the metallic is tough to match and i dont think it holds up too well in the sun.
