best color paint quality?

ok since alot of people have commented about mitsus paint quality what color do u think hides it the best?.....im leaning towards silver since it seems to hide flaws, my other choice would be black but i know black shows everything!!
so let me know your take on certain colors

silver is supposed to be best but i've also heard white was good. on the other hand i heard the white is terrible and stains easily. so silver is the best bet.

i'm just waiting for the spring (april/may) cause i commute to dartmouth for work and school so i hit all that salt on the way every day. i've seen one silver one around here when i was comming off or 24 and onto 195. that was last summer and i only saw it once. i have a bunch of people that want to start a club because i have the know how and skills to do it. people are already lining up to join. rsx type s, a4, wrx, eclipse gst, civic, and a couple of other cars. i work on a lot of cars since i install mobile electronics.

Silver appears to have the best paint quality. Black and blue get too many swirls, and I've seen yellow and white Evos that have stains on the paint. Red doesn't even have a clearcoat.

I've owned both Black and Silver mitsu's and by far the silver was easier to keep clean, and stayed clean looking much longer. My black is full of swirl marks, whereas my silver looked pretty much new when I sold it

Every color is basecoat/clearcoat. Only the pigments change, not the paint.

wow, now this has me thinking. Maybe I should get silver too....

Originally I wanted Yellow or white, but if white and yellow stains then I dont want to deal with the headache of it staining.


How are your yellow evo's holding up?

How about the red ones?
