Work nearly done on my pre-facelift cab, managed to get a tech 1 kit but no spoiler yet, slowly approaching the painting phase.

Can't make my mind up to keep it the original diamond swartzer black or go for the house of kolor black gold...

Keep it Dianmond Schwarz I think, black gold looks more like a dark metallic poo.

i remember when i had a schwarz car, never did it and would more suit a track car where you can be a bit loud, but i always kind of liked the idea of scwartz with gold wheels, and gold touches like gold stripes, gold kidney instead of chrome, and various bits of gold on the external, like the old jps formula one cars in the 80s

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

In would keep it metallic black - when new and shiney, Diamond black is pretty good. Consider also Cosmos black.
Nothing ruins a car quite like a colour change if you don't strip the car to a bare shell and do everything.
