Lets Talk RED Paint...?

[HammerDown]

I may get a smoking deal on a new RED Truck Personally, I don't care for RED but, if the price is right well...you get the idea.
I'm talking solid Ford Red w/Clear Coat...no metallic.

So tell me, does Red show all the water spots, water spot etching, every speck of dust like Black? And then what about the stone chip touch-ups?

Thanks for any feedback.

Black paint shows everything, (as in defects), better than any other color. Here at Meguair's ALL testing is always done on black paint.

Red won't be as bad as black, but you'll still see the things that you don't want to see.

Ohhhh ****...there goes that $42K truck for $24K...guess I better hold out for a Silver Truck. Last thing I need is to be more crazy.

Silver's easy but unless in full sun or under night street lights there's no real POP to the finish, sometimes it looks like Primer.

Red doesn't show stuff too badly. It looks superb when it's detailed, too.

If you can get that sort of discount, buy it, flip it, take the money and get what you really want.

Well, I don't know about "flippin it" it's a 06 F150 Super-Crew leftover thats been sitting since last Summer. Red may not be a hot seller.

red doesnt show defects anywhere as much as black.... i have a red truck... it does show dirtiness like you would with any darker colors but defect showing its not that bad...minor swirls arent that obvious.... and besides if you know how to take care of paint then you wont get much defects in the first place.....

Red is awesome! My current ride is my first red car... at first I wasn't too thrilled about the color, but I've come to love it. I've also had black cars so I know the difference. Red doesn't show nearly as much as black and it looks superb when polished with #80, followed by #7, and either NXT or #26.

I have owned black, silver, white and you will excuse me for saying this but RED IS HOT !
This is my third RED car I just can't see changing it to something else unless you want to blend into the background and be apart of the herd.

Re: Lets Talk RED Paint...?

One more thing, in all of my 34 years of driving none of my tickets were in RED cars!
red rules !

If you can get that good of a deal on it, who cares if it's red or white or "gold" or orange with green stripes and purple polka-dots!

Red is good because it's noticeable...colors like grey or "gold" tend to blend into the background.

Is this a 4x4? Let me know if you take a pass on the deal, I maybe interested.

Re: Lets Talk RED Paint...?

I love my red truck...when its detailed properly on a real sunny day it looks like it could glow in the dark. Ive never owned black but I am well aware of how it shows imperfections and I dont think red is anywhere near as bad. Good luck!
