Dark Paint Jobs

More automakers than ever before are experimenting with new paint schemes. But these darker-colored paint jobs are even more difficult to see at night. Coupled with the rise in blind spots due to radical exterior designs and you have a recipe for disaster. Most new cars have some sort of a fancy paint job. But it’s the dark ones that are the most notable, which is why the insurance rates are higher (via Phycho Autos).

Then you have some cars that are only offered with a few special paint schemes. There is no law against having a dark paint job, which is why most enthusiasts go for them. But the visibility at night is a major flaw that even automakers don’t realize. It doesn’t look like dark paint jobs are going to go anywhere.
