Go with what you like and dont doubt your decision. Nitro is a great color, just like Blueprint was. Blueprint should always be in the Ford lineup.

Which is fine if you're a sales rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes so much longer to wash the lighter colours. I'd never have a white or silver car again.The best colour I've had is gun metal grey. Light enough to hide dust, dark enough to hide the darker marks. The car always looked clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 03/08/09 03:41 AM Share Posted 03/08/09 03:41 AM I love my ute in nitro. Its almost like having multi-toned paint. The colour is forever changing depending on the lighting. A day or too after washing it though and the shine is masked by dust.Silver is great at hiding dirt but also swirl marks and scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
