Well, I have the Electron Blue, and get a LOT of compliments on the color. Blue is just a real eye catcher, it seems.

But there are some negatives, such as I am sure you would see in a black finish as well. Rock chips on the hood are white and will drive you crazy. If you drive at all, you are going to get rock chips. I tried touch up paint on a couple of them and it looks like crap. Best thing I found to use was a blue colored fine tipped magic marker. It's not perfect, of course, but it does cover up the white chip marks very well.

I have a black Jeep Wrangler and the finish looked GREAT after washing and waxing it. But 15 minutes later, you can glaringly see the dust that has settled on it.

Bear in mind that you will see flaws and dust and stuff more easily then anyone else looking at your car. Most other people will see the TOTAL picture.

But honestly, there are few ways to spend your time more pleasurably then washing and waxing your Corvette........
