I love Jet Black... there, I said it

Pointless thread..I just felt like sharing with everyone.

I've been recently thinking about what I'd want if I decide to order another mcs, and I want Jet Black/Jet Black. It looks so hot..I even like it better than Chili Red.

Why did they cancel this color.. It will prob prevent me from getting another mcs if I cant get JB or similar.

I know this has been beaten to death, sorry

I can relate because I feel the same way about silk green. (But the CR/W is another color I covet and didn't get).

I got oxygen blue/white. Very nice but doesn't stand out like CR/W.

Trust me, you don't want Jet Black unless you're a detailer! I'm not just talking about black cars either--but Jet Black is very soft, easily scratched, and for those that don't provide absolute care of their paints day in and day out--it gets swirled very easily.

Jet Black under diffused lighting always looks fantastic, but shine a halogen at it--even after it's been polished, and OUCH--it doesn't look all that hot--not just talking about swirls either---but it looks kind of milky at times.

Leave it for the pros and admire it from a distance.

Well i'm only 20, so I still have some time on my hands to care for my cars. But, that is something to consider.
