True enough, I hope I never make the mistake of going black. No offense.

no offense of course. When I got rid of the 99gt for the 05gt I said I would never go back to black but alas I must have had a brain cramp. Mind you I would have trouble with Kona Mystichrome or any dark deep paint scheme as they all show dust. I should have got the same color as 1Low

I don't know what it is about Grabber Blue, but man you notice every little thing on it. I guess thats why I spend so much on compounds, polishes and waxes.....not to mention car washes! Anyway, to me its worth it, cause I love the color.

I would have thought Grabber Blue would have been a decent color to hide dust, I just learned something new. My 05gt was red=good but I had black stripes painted=bad lol

Oh yeah the Grabber Blue hides the dust alright, but it shows every little swirl in the sun...well atleast it used to, now I think I finally got rid of them all But seriously, for a light color, it shows a lot. I saw a spider web running across the rear quarter yesterday, and thought awww $#@&, I missed one of those swirls, but when I wiped across it with a micro fibre cloth it came off and blew away in the wind, but still cant believe how noticeable it was. I guess it could just be me

I would have thought it would have been a good color for hiding marks as it is so bright. When it's sunny it's tough to stare at the paint long enough to notice any imperfections.

Thats funny re your last point. I have often had heart attacks thinking I had a scratch/blemish and it was just dust thank God
