Is it a daily driver?

If so, go for Dolphin.

I had a non metallic black years ago. Looked good. Did not tolerate weather well. It took A LOT of work to keep it clean and swirl free.

I ordered a dolphin grey, which was interminably delayed. I ended up taking a silver off the lot. I have a Sterling Gray BMW, which is close to the Dolphin. Daily driver. Never looks bad, even when dirty. Looks great when clean (better than silver ever looks).

Cool
I figured out the picture poster thing
This is my new toy. Silver was made for sunsets

Black will look the best. BUT only for about 30 mins after it is washed.
 
After that, I will collect dust. Black almost never looks clean. Not to mention the swirl marks that are difficult to hide and the paint chips that mar the paint. I have had many black cars and each time I say never again. I will never have another. Go with the Dolphin, you won't be sorry.

Black gets too hot and is impossible to clean. Dolphin has been so far good to me =)

Well
 
If you can garage the car, have free time to detail it, and drive only on the good weather days, you might do okay with black.

As an aside, I like the Zaino products for car care. Very good for removing the tiny swirl marks that you WILL get with non metallic black. Very durable and deep shine.<ul><li><a href="http://www.zainostore.com">http://www.zainostore.com</a</li></ul>
