Not very adventurous here I suppose, but I bought a semi-gloss black. I haven't sprayed it on yet, call me lazy.

I did gloss white in my old coupe... I didn't like it after awhile.

I'm thinking that gloss white would be the last of my choices, lol. For cleanliness (looks) it's cool - for cleanliness (actually CLEAN) - I'd think it'd be a nightmare.

I personally am leaning towards the Hammered Silver myself after seeing Chad's coupe (n8secstangg). I really fell in love with the way it looked in HIS coupe (black w/silver graphics, etc). I'm just not sure how it would look in MINE.

The cage is primered right now in "hot rod flat black" and looks pretty bitchin. But this car is a little too much to have flat black hot rod stuff on it IMO. My old coupe, it'd be flat black all the way.

I like the hammered finish paints...... They look great and are extremely easy too touch up later.....

gloss black, because I like it to look clean but not attract your attention.

I'm a flat black man myself. Of course, I like the simpler things in life too.

I know most of the road race guys go with white as it shows cracks better. I've read some sanctions wont allow the hammer finish because of the tech inspections of the welds. That may be way beyond what you need to worry about though.
I too like the hammer finish (if you primer it first )
Heres that CC link to the appliance paint we were talking about:
