Color that shows the least scratches and dents ! !

Hi guys,

I'm very OCD when it comes to my cars. To save my near and dear ones the trouble, which color do you think makes scrathces and dents the least visible

I know for a fact that although black looks smoking' hot, it shows scratches and dents like it's in style .

Help !

Light silver, white are your best bets.

Ditto. White and Silver are the best for hiding incidental scratches and dents. In my experience silver is the best at hiding dirt if you can't wash the car constantly.

The darker the shade, the more visible scratches are, but then of course a well waxed dark colored car looks amazing, though BMW whites also tend to look really vibrant compared to some other car manufacturers. Their whites always seem yellowish to me, and not very bright

I sorta figured. Got my heart set on a darker color, but can't seem to get over the fact that they're gonna be a PITB to keep spotless.

That would work, but why not go out on the ledge, just a little. Get the Mineral Gray and CR.

Captain, You cracked me up with that one. I want it!

well, try flat green. i've seen a E92 M3 with flat green and body kit. man, that thing looked like a tank. plus, if you use flat color it saves you the time from waxing it!

Rust as a protective coating.

I love the Rust color, but what really makes it is the criss-cross tape on the headlights. BTW, wasn't this car seen in a Walmart parking lot?!

If this is the first concern that comes to your mind, please do not get a BMW. Thank you.
