well its gonna stay real dirty in the winter and all the swirl marks are much more noticeable on a dark car, they are practically invisible on a light car. and black is also harder to wax because the surface stays much hotter. and my personal worst about black is if it is a nice car you cant see it! black is invisible at night especially with body mods. my friends integ has scooped side skirts, a zeal front bumper and extreme rear and you cant see any of it at night (read: if you have a shitty car, like a 86 prelude or something with a bad body style, and want a nice paint job, paint it black)

I agree about black being dirty all the time
i have a black talon and i wash it like 2 times a weekend...also the swirl marks are noticable...i just paid 180 dollars to have a professional buff donw to it to take out the swirls and now it looks nice but i know it wont be too long until you will notice swirls again...but i like black and think that it is nice during the day, especially with 20% tinted windows!
