What are the best colors to paint a older gt with a body that's got a few flaws??? This is just a starter 5.0 for me, I have always owned foreign cars and I want to step it up with a 5.0.

I really want to paint it black but I heard that Black is the worst color for trying to hide flaws? Is this true?

yes black sucks to hide flaws with, takes a hell of a lot of prep work, the lighter the color the easier to hide flaws, reds kinda hard for someone doing it in there garage but shops have no problems with it

YEah, I love a Fox in Black, or red. But obviously white would do the best for hiding flaws, and shows dirt less. Black looks reallllly nice when clean, but it shows dirt very fast.

dont think white hides dirt... trust me, i wash it atleast twice a week, its just as bad as black imo... stay away from black or white if you looking to hide flaws/dirt.
