Whats the most forgiving color that hides body imperfections?

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

i want to spray my daily driver without bodyworking it too much..

its a newer car but not that new..

i was wondering which color hides the best and such.. its not dented all to hell or anything but i was wondering.

so which one is?.. my guess was white?...

I was thinking to do a uni grey.. no metallic.

Agree...white

Just don't sand and buff the clear coat. Orange peel hides alot of stuff, but it won't hide door dings, dents, etc.

semi-flat! :D

Otherwise, white or a nice light silver will work.

Silver. I wash cars where I work, and I have to say this is the best color hands down. So easy to clean and hides imperfections well.

If it ain't right, paint it white. The only downside of white is that it will really show bad gaps.

Pink...... it will be so ugly no one will care how straight it is :)

White or flat paint is the way to go for the daily driver where you want to do little or no body work.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

is white ridiculous to keep clean?

and fesler what flat paint did you use on your Merc?

anyone seen a flat white?

What about the Silvers? Like the popular Cortez silver you see all around?

anyone seen a flat white?

Yup, I have seen flat white and also recently a metallic white with a matte clear coat finish. Any flat or satin paint should lessen the appearance of imperfections.

The metallic white with the matte finish looked unbelievably AWESOME! The car had lots of satin finish carbon fiber treatments and looked like a total street fighting machine!
