"I'm only wearing black until they invent a darker colour" Seems like I need to reevaluate my wardrobe!

So replace trim strips and inlay strips into body panel gaps, for example. In a sense, it's almost wireframe, but done differently. Highly illegal, but you get to be Automan!!!

Probably best that they came up with the blackest black. If it had been the whitest white they would have been accussed of rascism.

If they had, it would have blinded everyone who looked at it, so no worries!

Based on that video, I'm actually quite disappointed... I expected better. Although, being a BMW probably doesn't help matter, either. :D

Wouldn't it be better to buy a pretty car, then you could have a colour that didn't try to hide it? :D

But seriously, that seems like a really good way to end up with people driving into you. Or perhaps they assume all cars these days have radar collision sensors, well mine doesn't.

Mine can be fitted with up to four collision warning sensors... I believe they're usually called 'passengers'.

Actually... I think Vantablack missed a trick, though - They should have done a deal to get an Aston Martin Vantage to paint!!
