I have owned several black vehicles, and have a little advice an how to keep it looking spotless for over 30 seconds. First keep it covered up with a freshly cleaned cover, inside a garage that has a dust filtration system. At no time are you to take it outside and deffinately, and I must stress this, ever are you to drive it. As to leaving it in the summer sunlight, this is to be done only at your own peril, and only if you have a fire resistant refrigerated suit and asbestos gloves.
Frankly, I've learned the best color is natural (rust). You don't have to wash it, it allways looks the same. If by accident it's starts to looking so good you begin to think of fixing it up and painting it, drive it thru the nearest mudhole, so you aren't misled into foolishly sanding and fixing those nagging rust holes.

My body men all told me.. you want Black, double the price. Since i have had two black trucks and know the pain involved in keeping them clean, and spent 15000 dollars on three sets of idiots (oops, I mean bodymen) to get a basically dent free and rust free truck painted, I don't think the Scotsman or the practical , Vulcan side of me, would ever allow me to get a truck painted black.

I like them, when other people own them and have to clean them.

When I painted my 56 Black,, with traditional flames loved it got more attention and pictures,, then changed color to darker blue sevaral shades of blue silver flames its ok but after I did went to paint store and yes you guessed bought more gallons of black paint for it and ever since changing from black to another color was not the same also Chris is right soon as you wash it its already dirty,, my 2004 F-350 was black looked great when clean but the object is to keep it clean and JC Right cost more to paint black and body work has to be better than it came from the factory which means hours and hours of primer sanding reprimer low high spots etc.... but if its right at the end it looks like its worth its weight in gold
