'91 V8Q 5 sp for sale...$2k obo

[Larry C Leung]

As a pearl 200 owner, I'd say the black (or anthracite or whatever
special color Brett's is, can't ever remember the name. Cool color
though, but definitely don't call it black) is less conspicuous. It's
usually easy to spot any form of white in traffic, unless ALL of the
traffic is white. Black is harder to care for, but much less spotable in
traffic. As I had posted earlier, the only way I could tell where Taka's
anthracite 200Q was when it was carving traffic after Waterfest was the
orange of the stock 200 tail (of course a V8 wouldn't have THAT
problem!). Of note, the neuS4 he was playing with in Zermatt was even
LESS conspicuous than the anthracite. Guess shades of grey blends in the
best, if that was your concern.
