Wow that baby is looking good, is that the shine it came with from the dealer or did you wax it up. In any case it is a beauty.

Looks great!

Welcome back to the DARK SIDE.
Black is just so BADAZZ!!!

That's why it's the most popular color choice for the C6.

Here's my 08 coupe.

Thanks, Mother's clay bar and Meguires NXT, about two hours time. Car only had 4,500 miles on it so the paint was in good shape. Still needs to have some light scratches worked on. Black is making me crazy after three days of ownership!

Canon Digital Photo Pro software that came with the G10. It's addicting. Easy to use. Saturation, hue, contrast, brightness and sharpness all available for JPEG.

Hey Scruff Vette!

Just exactly what car polish or wax is responsible for that shine on your car?!?!

Or is that not factory GM paint, but custom paint??

Yep, this is the color of choice.....gorgeous and it's intimidating as hell, I love it!!

And, it's hard to take pictures of black because it looks like a mirror, huh?

Thanks. The Vette is a 2006, one local owner with 4,500 miles on it. A Chevy dealer bought it from the oriinal owner when he was looking to sell. I purchased it for $36K. That is slightly less than KBB retail price. Sold for around $53K when new.
