I got a Super Black X and it holds up very well , I do some trail riding thru the woods from time to time, nothing to extreme, being I have a 4x2, but as long as you know how to take care of a Black vehicle you know all the right waxes and sprays, you'll be alright... probably more work for you since you are going extreme off-roading ...why don't you be a little different and get Granite or Canteen, I'm pretty sure they hide the scratches....everybody and their Mother has Silver....but the color theme is entirely up to you....Good Luck...BTW..XTERRA'S LOOK KICK ASS IN SUPER BLACK...
