Everyone gets silver. Black has attitude, silver is for old conservative people , get black!

wash and wax a silver car and it still looks the same
wash and wax a black car and its like you got a totally new car

 

I own a black evo and I love the color a lot It has kinda a blue flake in it, but Its very hard to wax and wash especialy when its hot out side. Plus when you dry it with a shamie it leaves streaks.

My father owns a silver one the color it has a more sparkly flake in it. its not to hard to clean, silver would look good with some carbon fiber pieces

2 more cents...

The Altezzas don't look bad on silver.
They blend better on silver paint.

When you sell a black car it will look beat up unless you are very very very very very careful with the paint.

I have over 9000 miles already. The Mitsubishi paint is the worst I have seen. Keep that in mind. If you buff the car five times the paint will be gone. It is not like a thick laquer black that you can keep working on a high end car.

 

i had the same problem.. but i think i finally got a fix!!!

i kept doing waxings over and over.. i even thought i had taken off all the wax and started over, but it still didnt look good!!!

finally, i got the 3 phase program from Mothers.. HELL YEAH!! it has a pre-wax cleaner (a wax that's not a wax, it just takes all old wax off and any other debris and junk off), which is the first step.. and the second step is a glaze, and the third a carnuba wax..

also, before i did the pre-wax cleaner, i washed the car with dish soap (not normally recommended, but OK if you're waxing right away) to get as much of the old wax off and any crap/bugs off the car...

i did all these steps, and now the car looks gorgeous!!! all i have to do now is wash the car, and while i dry it i use Eagle One Wet detailer spray, and the result is AMAZING!!!!!

try it!

i think the problem is the old factory wax and this is why you have to really start all over!

here it is in low rez:

 

Most of the dead evos are black

 

if i had a choice between black and silver when i got mine, i probably would have gone silver...

but after having the black now, i know i ended up with the right car for me... sure it's more maintainence, but the rewards are worth it...

 

i would say silver because you cant really see the hood vent or the carbon fiber spoiler in black, well at lease when i saw it in person it was obvious up close but not from afar. i like yellow tho

 

which is another reason i love the black... i think there's too much going on with the hood vent and all the grill vents on the other colors...

they don't look bad, but black just looks better...

 

the main reason i picked black was the fact that that HUGE weird triangle (behind the diamond in the grill) they added on the evo8 gets sort of blended in!

 

thanks spooldsswede, I just bought the three stage thingy, im gonna try it this weekend.

Thanks again,
Alex
