Im looking for some new paint ideas but, im not trying to get anything that would make the CG look ricey. Im really not a fan of white or black, maintaining is not my best subject.
Sorry for the small pics. They are in order from my favorite to the least favorable.

if maintaining isnt your best then id stay away from dark colors, since they show everything.

I've always loved this Java Black Pearl paint, from a WRX I think.

But too bad you don't want anything dark. Anyway, silver is probably the easiest to maintain.

are those paints glittery like the old hot rods? if so i would stay away from those imo. couldn't you find a car color you like from another stock color, say on a bmw? and then match that, that way you could see how the paint looks like in different environments/lights

If you suck at maintaining your car's exterior, go with a gray or root beer brown.
