Thanks Lea,
I've lusted after a black SL for some time, knowing that this colour shows the best shine. Despite all the naysayers who said it would be impossible to keep clean, I've proved them wrong. (Though they don't see me detailing it after every run, nor keeping it inside from the rain!)
It's officially a 'green-black,' though shows as a gray-black - just to confuse me even more. There's no hint of green in it anywhere and I suspect the 'expert' that told me this was colourblind on the day.
This element of gray makes it look a little less exciting in bright sunlight than the pure 040 black which is now my goal for the next SL
