Yeah black is hard to keep clean, but I also don't plan on daily driving it either and black with all of the chrome and aluminum trim these cars have looks fantastic. At the same time, since the gray is the original color it probably seems like the way to go. But maintenance aside, I think I prefer the black. I've been going back and forth for years on this and it's making me crazy! . One of these days I'll start a thread on here with my restoration effort.jimbob wrote:Thanks Jeff, graphite is much easier to keep clean than black. Its allot easier to spray aswell .
I would go for the graphite every time i love it on old BMWs
Good luck on your restoration
Keep the updates and pics coming though. You're almost there and putting it all back together is the fun part.
