Default Paint Colors

I've heard that black is an extremely hard color to paint because every flaw shows through. Is this true for fiberglass bodies as well...or just metal bodies? Which paint color hides the most "mistakes"? Which color whgen sprayed covers the best?

Yes, black shows the most defects - Does not matter if it is fiberglass or steele. What color hides the most mistakes, probably white.

Covers the best? Well, after a proper primer preparation - they all cover well.
