hello all,

what color do you think will SHOW more scratches?

......the white or the black?

i know they will both scratch with normal wear and tear.

i have a white macbook and i keep it in a case but when looking close you can see swirl marks but no noticeable scratch marks.

just seeing if the black macbooks do the same.

please advise if you can.

peace. :cool:
 
Hmm, I have a black car. Wouldn't have any other colour tbh, though it is a pearlescent/metallic black which makes all the difference.

Mines metallic it's a vauxhall astra,but it just seems to show those little light swerlly scratches not only that i live down a beat up old road full of pot holes etc so in the winter it's muddy and by the time i pull up outside my house it looks sh*t
 
The black looks really nice and I'm guessing it will even look better in person. But as most things glossy black go, it will scratch easily. Invest in an invisible screen or something similar.
 
I have owned one black car, and like Neil 321, never again. They do look good when they are clean, but the swirl marks are way to visible. I am leaning towards a black phone. I am going to protect whatever colored iPhone I choose with an InvisibleShield.
