Nailed it. Did you do the spring install yourself?

Looks great [MENTION=855]jonk[/MENTION], I like how you blacked out the corners of the tail lights.

Guys - your cars are beautiful!

I love the Black Stinger and its definitely my favorite color.

However I am not an enthusiast, and I dont take such great care of my cars

Meaning, I am not getting to the carwash that often - not weekly and often not monthly.

People have been scaring me off black, saying it will look very crappy very quickly.

I understand that it wont look beautiful like these pictures, but is it true that if I am not cleaning the car very regularly, I should avoid this color completely?

I don't clean mine very often either but black does show dirt and dust very quickly. Whenever I'm lazy I'll just do the automatic car washes.

Thunder Grey/Panthera Metal, Ghost Grey/Ceramic Silver and Silky Silver will be the best colours for hiding dirt.

Yeah I hear you, but white gets pretty dirty too right?
And how bad does it actually look when its a little dusty?

Appreciate this suggestion - sadly I really didnt like any of those colors
I dont love the GT2 color choices and really only liked Black and White.

We have a big dust issue here in AZ and white does a great job of hiding it.

With white, it?s not necessarily that you can always see the dust and debris extremely easy, it?s more that the white paint and clear coating that KIA uses has many layers which adds depth and makes the car POP, also there is lots of multicolored metal flake, which adds a level of sophistication to the overall look, both of which disappear with ?invisible? dirt and dust more so on white than say red or blue, because they are stronger colors. As you go along between washes or after rainy weather etc. it just becomes a plain white car. As far as mud and ?dark water? residue etc., yes that does show a lot more in a white car, but it?s more that it just loses the luster and richness and just becomes a plan white car. Before my Stinger I drove an SX Turbo Optima that was white, very similar paint. IMO

Has anyone with Black had paint chipping issues?

I just noticed a chip on my hood too

 

[snowman]

Same on mine, countless chips on the hood and bumper.

Seems like a defect that should be covered. I?ve never had anything like that on my other cars

I agree, paint seems way too soft.

 

[lirongitig]

Is this something you think would be helped/solved if I get the car ceramic coated?
