My thunder gray ralliart will soon be black

Some lady hit the right side of my car scraping the paint off almost about 6 inches wide across the entire right side. I think I'm just going to get it painted black.

Seems like a valid reason to paint an entire car.

If the body isn't repaired perfectly straight, black will bring out the slightest ripple in the sheetmetal. I'd stick with gray.

Blacks not that hard to keep clean, it only looks dirty if you look close up. A 6 inch scrape is going to make you paint your whole car?
