Haha..you are right , theres no brown coloured dust...dust should be in grey ...The current picture i upload is for dirt. But i think you guys are confuse. Once again



The picture on the left is the Dirt while on the right is the dust
both proves that dirt and dust on black Sagas are harder to been seen

yeah, its harder to c dust in black than white car.
So silver is most difficult to c the dust

Dude..... I drive a black colour ride...

Take my word for it, once the dust specks settles on your beloved black ride... especially after a nice rain..
you'll wish you took another color... that diagram you draw hardly come close to the real situation.. really.

By the way, most air-borne dust you will see on the car will be slight brownish - akin to sand color. Of course that also depends where you park your car or drive your car to.

but hell... once you get that baby washed and waxed up... you can use its surface as a mirror

Haiz...i had said it before...currently i'm driving a black civic ...so i knew what is it like driving black painted cars...I dont see any dust now...=_=

But normally on the road when i looked at old black colour cars, i notice its kinda dusty. Maybe the owner of the car is bored of his car and lack of cleaning.

My cousin has a black coloured Nissan Serena too, i think he got his car 2 years ago...but still it looks kinda new and dust is hardly noticeable

Anyway , in other thoughts , i think how visible the dust is on the car is depending on where you drove your car

dude ur arguement on civic is nonsensical...do you know there are 3 versions of 8th generation civic? lookup for the UK 8th gen civic, US 8th jen civic and JDM 8th gen...

and until now black is still the hardest to take care....doesn't matter if its ur civic black or saga black or even lambo black...

dust, after rain especially, sticks to your car and turn greyish when dry...and usually dirt is not black only tar from the road....lil scuff marks from stones are quite easily noticed too on darker colored cars...

now this come from my experience of already having to take care of 2 dark colored cars and and 2 lighter colored cars...

do u wash ur car every day? or every 1-3 days?...try not washing it for a week and compare it to a white/silver car without wash of the same period??

any color will be the same for a lazy people that don't want to wash the car ...

and as i know, proton black color is different from other car maker's black color ...

i tot BLM black is metallic? with the shining metallic suppose to cover for dust. c the black BLM i posted.

Dude, you drive a black civic so what? How old is your car?

You can't compare the dirt with some computer paper work and claim that black color hard to see the dust/dirt. If you want to compare, compare it with real car. Drive 2 color on the same road for 1 week, choose those dusty road and after 1 week see the result by yourself.

black is the hardest to take care.. even the showroom gal also say like tat. they have to wax the car everyday to keep the 'showroom' shine.

sommore when have hairline scratches it will be very visible

nevertheless.. black IS still the sexiest color!

if the mud dirt on black car..definately u can see it very clear..unless something wrg with ur eye...

white also very ez to get dirt especially tar/oil stain..

if can..get silver/green or some other lightest color but not white

one more thing..if u didnt take care of ur black car while u wash it or send to other to clean for u..u will see swirl mark on it as well..

Airborne dust will be very noticeable on black paint compared to lighter coloured paint.

Just came back from showroom, go with my mum.

Not bad, big space. They only got auto transmission there. My mum keep criticise the body is too fragile !

Its like that lah...even toyota vios also very soft....

Aiya silver is for lazy ppl and want to save cost, black is for ppl who frequently wash car and take care of the car regardless of cost. =p

what do you mean? saga manual shift really so louzy meh...try to tell more about it ..pls..

try for yourself then you will know

i still not yet receive my manual la... ...

Join the club i also not yet receive my car
Booked at 9th of january no news yet. I changed from manual to auto

u mean saga club? urs booked 9 jan..mine was booked on 27 jan......for sure u will get within one month i think...

This I will agree though since I requent dusty construction sites now and then. So my car tend to gather more dust..

But in any case... even parking the car after a car wash at home, I can see dust spots after heavy rain.
Of course.. if you wax the car.. you dont get those dust imprints. Then again.. who waxes every weekends anyways
