I'm planning on picking up a GE base automatic fit within the next week, and I've found a dealer not far away with by far the best prices in the region ($15,646 before fees with 0% APR), but they only have two colors available--Taffeta and Alabaster. As someone who likes the polished gray Fit paint the most, I'm leaning toward the silver, but what do you guys think? I know that the white is pretty well-liked around here, but I'm also concerned about durability or the long term. I know white and silver are supposed to be two of the more durable car paint colors in general, but what are your experiences?

 

I'm partial to TW myself. I think the silver just looks boring and doesn't do anything for the lines on this car. The darker gray looks good, as you said already. If it's between TW and AS, I'd pick TW in a heartbeat.

 

My 09 was Storm Silver Metallic and my current 12 is Tafetta White. I like the white MUCH better.

 

Taffeta White for sure. Just looks so clean.

 

Taffy. 5 years old and still nice. But the one on the right is 2 days old and the paint is a shade or two whiter. I have faded maybe?

 

Love the Vanilla Taffy Fits!

 

My first Honda (now about 20 years ago) was a 95 Integra in TW. I later bought a 98 ITR in CW. So I am heavily biased towards white Honda's.

 

I've had a similar problem.

Silver... is the way to go
