if my car was black from the factory i'd definitely keep it that color, because color changes are really a huge PITA if you want it to look perfect and whatnot, however since it was **** beige new paint for my car also called for a color change. though its not entirely perfect (engine bay, under some trim that wasn't removed prior to paint...), i like the car much more now, and it gets hella stares from people everywhere because it's such an unusual color for a maxima
for you it really depends on what you want, do you want your car to stand out in a crowd? or just look clean and stock-ish?

lol i know his black on black looks sick, thats why you should keep it black, unless your car needs to be painted then dont paint it, it will not last or not even be as good as the factory dipped paint your car went through. especially a really good deal

Well I got my car repainted metallic black. You can chime in Tom., (Proline Auto Body in Elmwood Park, NJ painted it) The edges of the mouldings were taped off but for the most part the paint job did come out flawless. I paid close a little over $3,500 and it took 2+ months to get it done, but after it was wetsanded, polished, buffed etc it honestly does look like glass.
Black by far is the ONLY color I would get on any car it is absolutely stunning at day, and night because it is SO reflective when painted correctly, and maintained correctly.
The color I got is metallic black in the day time under the sun it does not look pitch black it's more of a charcoal with a lot of flakes, looks real purdy. At night time it looks glossy black.
