My black paint has very few chips, and I put 9000 miles on it in 5 months! Those it does have were easily touched up with matching paint pen.

I do have a ding on edge of door that will NOT stay covered up however--no idea why, it's white underneath too.

ya it's not black underneath.. it's white.. i kinda dinged my driver side door a little bit.. lil white specks are now there instead. but it's barely noticeable.

When I was looking for my new yaris, I needed it asap and the only thing they had arriving to the dealership with the manual w/ power option that I wanted was the white. They did have the blazing blue (which I ABSOLUTELY loved!) But it didnt have the power option. =( So white it is!

I thought about black also, but it gets TOOOO HOT here in Georgia during the summer to have a black car.

Im a few miles south of Savannah.

Up until now, I have been EXTREMELY busy with college, graduation, taking the registry to become officially a radiologic technologist, and starting my new job that it was impossible to squeeze in time for a trip to ATL. Especially since its like a 4 hr drive from here. Maybe next time gadget!

Is there going to be another one sometime soon?

Question about the black paint cars

When it chip they say it's white...is that white the primer or the actual bumper color underneath all that paint????

That's wierd if true. Under our pacific blue it's black on the bumpers.

I prefer silver for looking clean and showing marks the least, but we both agreed that pacific blue looked best in our opinion on the yaris sedan. I don't think there's a colour which looks bad on our cars either.

I wish it was a little more silvery like the mercedes blue, but it stays surprisingly clean looking compared to other colours and doesn't get nearly hot as my first car which was black with no a/c.

Absolutely Red!! Because Toyota makes a red that truly looks red!

YarisGirl82 · 09-23-2007, 06:09 PM

Meteorite Metallic, and I agree, it's easy to keep it looking clean, even if you haven't washed it in months. My husband has an '04 Pathfinder that's silver, and we've gone months before we asked eachother "when was the last time we washed it?" One good rain, and it's just like new! Plus, I want to blend in, not stick out, the 5.0 look for those who stick out... Plus, the scratches don't show anywhere near as much as one the solid colors, and RED is an anxiety color for me, I get stressed out just looking at red cars. No offense to those of you who like it, It's just a little much for me.
