IML Paint question

["John G. Napoli" <john@xxxxxxxxx>]

Easiest color:  beige.  It hides everything.  White is a close second.  Auto-body classes oftenhave their students paint their 'homework beige since it hides many sins.

 

The hardest is black, since it shows every surface imperfection.

 

I guess the rigorous reply to your question is that metalflakes and candies are the hardest to 'paint', but that beige is the most forgiving with surface prep and black the most unforgiving.

I know that of all the colors of the rainbow, white is the easiest color for a painter to apply to a car.  I dont know whether black is equally easy or terribly difficult. It comes down to whether a MAACO type shop, who painted yellow and beige (2 different cars!) pretty well could do equally well with my 2 black ones.
Just a question
