what color to paint

hey, its come around that time where I'm going to be painting my car but I'm having trouble deciding on the color so i wanted you guy to help me out. I'm kind of stuck between two colors, first I wanted it nice bright white with the top black and the second is all black. Your advise is very helpful right now so let me know which of the two you like better or if you think I'm a retard and you think I should do another color let me know.
I have a fastback with a silvia front.

thanks guys

Black is a pain to keep clean - My vote is for all white.

- just don't think of all black with white doors

the reason I thought of painting the top black with the white is because you know how around the door doors and the back windows are black I though it would mach better.

all black sounds cool, even though it is a hassal to keep clean. although white is also a good color if you were to oaint the car all superwhite with white rims that would look very nice in my opinion. personally my fav. color is royal blue, or supersonic blue, si color.

Yeah that would look cool with the white bottom - just as long as you get rid of the black tape stripe around the car

well i still got some time I'm waiting on my taillights and I still have some body work to be done, my front end wasn't exactly perfect and its been raining lately so I'm going to wait till it dries up but I think I've made up my mind.

I had another question I've been driven my car around in the rain and parts have primer on it and someone said this is bad because it absorbs the water. I just wanted to know how bad is this going to be and how can I fix it before I paint it

Black is sweet as hell, so is blue. I think Silver might be cool too (a metallic silver).

white with white rims.... not a big fan of that, i just dont like the way it looks, maybe white with gunmetal rims, or maybe hyperblack, that would be sick, not white on white though
