anyone that has bought a Tarmac Black evo ever regret getting it because of the color?

I am looking to get silver or black since there isn't a single dealer in my state that has one and so im either going with silver or black

is it really that hard to keep the black clean?..ide assume the brake dust ont he wheels will match the paint ..lol

 

black looks great after you put lots of work into it, I would have still bought black again if I had the choice!

 

i love my black oz...true it is hard to maintain...but when shes all dressed up....man...iw ould regret to have shosen abother color

 

nope, i love my black evo. i work a little hard for the shine but it's nothing like seeing a black evo come from behide and then pass you up! so as my friends tell me .

 

I've got a black OZ, which is the same color as Tarmac Black. It's a great color and a nice polish/wax and some sunlight really brings out the blue and purple flecks for a great shine and a deep color. Can't be beat. If you don't wash/wax regularly, it may look a little blah, but at the same time, so will every other color when not taken care of, and even often when it is. Black is definitely worth it.

regret? nope, never. 5th black car so far. we have 2 right now, evo and a 03 odyssey and i would do it all over again.

 

It dose take a lot of work but it is worth it, once it is clean you can enjoy it for that day.

 

would not get black in arkansas...too dusty (construction everywhere) and too much pollen in spring

 

My black infiniti is a PITA to keep looking good. Swirls and scratches show up so easy it pisses me off. White is the way to go.

 

My original evo was red and it was just as hard to keep looking good because of the lack of clear coat. So, atleast the black has clear coat going for it. I'm really **** about my car so, I have to wash it about twice a week. But I'm that way with any color car so I guess it wouldn't matter. I personally don't think anything looks better than a clean black car so, it's worth it to me.

 

IMHO Black is by far the best color. But, it takes fanatical dedication to keep it clean and free from swirls. Good luck.

 

well i wish i could get white but there is none in california..ive been waiting for 3 weeks now. Im trying to get the white with sun and sound package.

do u guys know if it would have to pasxs certain emmission test or not if i bring it from a different state such as Nevada or Arizona?

 

btw...i think im gonna get black if i can't get a white from anywhere near me.

Off topic: what does the standard non MR 05 have that the 04 doesn't?

 

I always wanted the black evo but the black one they had at the dealer been sitting outside and it had a bunch of swirls on it. So I choose the white one on the show room floor and I just love white now, all my future cars will be white. I think white/black are the hardest to maintain and keep clean.

 

A lot of the problems with swirls can be taken care of by using a high-quality wax. Not sure what everyone who's having problems is using, but I started using Maguiar's Three-Stage. Takes an assload of time to do, but to me it's just more quality time with my evo. And the results are great. Black is definitely worth the extra effort!
