...“The most popular color in North America for the past three years is white,” says Nancy Lockhart, Color Marketing Manager for DuPont Vehicle Paints. “We’ve also seen that, globally, black has gained in popularity.” Lockhart credits growing consumer interest in metallic and pearl-coat finishes with boosting the appeal of these two colors.

Yup, in the same boat here. I'll hold on to this car for dear life till it literally falls apart! My wife's going to walk out on me otherwise as she'll never trust anything I say in the future
