Purchased my 2005 brilliant black Coupe in August of this year with 6,800 miles, and just a few little stone nicks here and there. They were easy to spot and touch up with a bottle of "Dupli-Color",Universal Black scratch fix,2in1. No more nicks, but many coats of premium paste wax to repel future nicks.
Would not trade the color for any other, since I only drive it on perfect weather and road conditions, it is pretty easy to keep it looking good.
I love my crossfire
