[urq] paint selections

[Mike Sylvester]

I think what everyone has to remember is that black cars don't photograph
well.
If the lighting isn't right, the detail will be hidden.
e.g. there is an S6 avant for sale on the marketplace right now that is
black and in the shot of the driver's side you can barely make out the door
handles.

In person, black cars are the exact opposite.  They show everything.  If you
have the slightest dent, scratch or bubble you will see it from every angle.
White will hide imperfections very well.

Since it isn't often that most people see a urq that isn't there own, so
photos are all that they can go by.

I'd like to see one in pearl.
