3 Advantages of Painting Your Car Black

White, silver and black are the most common car hues. Consumers appreciate these "safe" basic tones that allow for streamlined vehicle appeal without going overboard with color. In fact, 19 percent of vehicles purchased are black, which can help aid in your vehicles resell value in the future.

While "trendier" and custom hues are constantly hitting the market as consumers branch out with personal taste, black stands the test of time. If you want to make your black car stand out even more or have a unique appeal, talk to your auto body technician about metallic or even matte black tones. A professional paint job ensures a smooth finish that can last for many years.

If your car isn't a high-end brand but you want to give it a more classic and commanding look, black is a hue that demands attention. Black is tied to sophistication and luxury, so painting your car this rich color will give it an upscale aesthetic.

To maintain the glamour of your new black paint job, you have to take care of your car's exterior. Black is beautiful but requires a lot of maintenance when it comes to caring for this color. Keep your vehicle waxed and make sure to wash debris as quickly as possible to keep the showy sheen on your car, longer. Your auto body technician can give you more advice on vehicle care.

Since black is a color that matches everything, you can get creative with the rest of your car without worrying about clashing with your vehicle's exterior color. For example, you can feel free to have your auto body technician upgrade your car's interior with a bold hue like hot pink, turquoise or even goldenrod and this bold design choice won’t clash with your car’s exterior paint job.

Go wild with bold interior striping or stay classic with crisp cream vinyl or leather seats. Any interior upgrade will look stunning against the black exterior of your car.

Keep in mind, there are many different paint finishes you can choose from. While matte is not the most popular, this finish stands out and when painted professionally it can last for many years. High gloss black is a more popular version of this paint color, allowing for a glamorous sheen.

Also, you won't want to forget metallic black, this paint finish contains specs of glittering metallic sparkles to give your car more dimension and a modern look.
