Default Road rash

What are the best colors for road rash. I im considering a silver or EB Z. I woul dthink the Silver would hide minor chips but EB might be the opposite.

My quicksilver Z hides them okay i guess...but its one of those things when its on YOUR car you always notice. Silver also carries dirt pretty well. Good Luck

EB is horrible, I have tons of tiny chips on all the fenders behind the wheels.

Don't have experience with any other color Vette, but I think my Quicksilver car hides chips pretty well. It also doesn't show dirt at all basically. I'm going to either get some clear film to protect it or some splash guards though so that I won't feel so bad about driving it around and letting it get dinged up!
