Just the opposite...white is known as "the bodyman's friend". Hides a lot. Darker colors show waves, imperfections, sand scratch, etc. much more. Chuck

Whenever we got a REAL dog in at the used car lot, the boss would say "Paint it red!" It would be gone in a matter of days.

Chuck is right on the mark with that reply. The darker the color the more you are going to see things in the paint, the lighter the color the less you see. White hides everything, black shows everything. And like Razz said if you want to sell it paint it red.
