Isn't it easier to paint a light color then a dark color? I had a Silver
Cloud painted silver over black, and the black took a lot more work then
the silver to get right. When I had a Bentley painted, that I did not want
to spend a bunch of money on, the paint guy recommended white, telling me
that light colors are more forgiving of mistakes and less then perfect prep
work. I went with the white, and it looked great.
Since this will be my first self painted car, I am leaning toward a lighter
color (as much as I love high gloss black, I know that is a bit beyond my
capabilities at this time).
