If its a daily driver, give flat/matte paint a miss. The upkeep and maintenance makes a standard black car a picnic! My mate conceded after 14 months and got it sprayed over. Looked awesome freshly done, but you can't touch the paint without leaving marks - on a daily driver it was impossible. A large bird shit that stained his hood was the tipping point.

If its a show car, then much less of an issue. But just remember no polishing, no waxing - you even have to "audition" detail sprays to make sure it doesn't leave behind a residue.

i've always loved Midnight Purple. If i were to buy another car and get to choose the colour, this colour would have to be on the top of my list.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the car is already in black primer, all those bright colours you're after will turn a disappointing dull/dark version of what you are expecting. If you're going to go for a bright colour, especially a lighter one, you'll need to re-do the primer in white first = more cost.

Bright = yellow sticker magnet if it's a daily drive, then again shiny things = chick magnets...hmmm
