Black - how tough?
Hi

I've had a black MX-6 - great paint compared with alot of black cars... how tough is the black on the rx-8?

I live in UK and sometimes need to travel on some pretty crappy back-roads, but like to keep my car looking A1. Would the tit grey make more sense?

I lived on a gravel road in Iowa for 3 years before moving to Chicago. My cars paint has rock chips everywhere and looks like ****. Paint is really soft as Jedi mentioned.

if you're not willing to wash it almost weekly, be prepared to have a constantly dirty car. This car always gets dirty, even after a little rain
