That's probably UV degradation, Most white paint is made from Titanium Dioxide, while most blacks use more stable elements.

UV radiation can eat trough the binding element in paints and leave the titanium dioxide around as a dust.

It's the same reason white cars have a problem with paint peeling.

Yet another shining example to reinforce the hypothesis that black don't crack.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
