Shout Out! Tuxedo Black!

Recommended Posts

I'm a Tuxedo Black here! The only color I've owned on my last 3 cars! Well...they were black, but not Tuxedo.

My other cars I could just buy gloss black rattle can paint to cover over my wounds, but these damn Tuxedo sparkles

will not allow that, so I'll just have to be more careful. When I bought the car, even before I paid for it I said I want touch up paint!

And I got one free. I did see a company that makes Tuxedo Black spray paint, but I think it was like $30. YIKES!

I have a TB not sure that I love it. I wanted DIB, but since DH didn't get the Titanium with Sony radio I let him choose the color. It is my car but he loves to drive it since I only work every other week. The next car will be blue!

It just seems to pick every speck of dust and dirt. Part of the deal is that DH is supposed to keep the car clean but that hasn't happened yet.

TB here as well, and I love it!

Truth be told, if I was buying a 2014, I would probably choose Dark Side, but of the 2013's, TB is my favorite.

In the old Western movies the good cowboy wore a white hat, now everything is the 'Darth Vader' look.

 

I wear a white hat pard'ner...

Plus, it doesn't show the dirt and no spoiler means I don't have to try and get towel under that tiny space to clean the bugs off. ;)

Let's hear it for white! Is yours Oxford or Platinum? I'm an Oxford guy and I absolutely love that it somehow never looks dirty. And when it's clean, man oh man, it's HOT!

I love the TB! I didn't have a big preference as to color as I think the FFH looks great in ALL colors. Since color wasn't important to me I let my wife pick. We walked around the lot and looked at a Fusion in every color and it came down to Ruby Red or Tuxedo Black. Black won because it didn't cost extra like Ruby Red. She continues to comment how black makes the car look classy and more expensive than it is. Check out my Gallery for some more pics I posted recently. I really love how the TB shines after the Zaino treatment.

Mine is Tuxedo Black. I would've preferred a solid black, but the metallic freckles have grown on me a bit.

I've had a fresh claybar sitting here for 12 weeks now and haven't had enough time to give it the proper care it needs. I haven't even washed it in 3 weeks. I think if I don't get it washed this week, someone will come and take it away from me. A car that pretty should not be allowed to be this dirty.

I saw 2 of them today, usually I see white or silver, but today two TB ones. Neither were as purdy as mine, they weren't tinted. :)

The worst part about TB is that is does pick up every speck of dust and road dirt possible. It's really tough to keep it clean. I can't wait for rainy season to come to an end here in FL, no matter how often I wash and detail the car, it seems to rain almost every day and it loses the shimmer after driving it on wet roads.

But the best part about TB is that when it is clean, it's the richest, most luxurious color available.

TB owner here. Gotta love the sparkles! Our 2010 was White Platinum Tricoat, which was also nice, although the bumpers and gas door never matched well on the 2010-2012 cars..

Tuxedo Black is the new Black. You can bet on it.
