Re: Lets Talk RED Paint...?

Hey everyone! I've checked out this board a few times and just joined up! This is a great board with a lot of very knowledgeable people. So here's my story since we're talking about red paint. I've got a red 04 F150 and I'm jumping in and going to try some machine polishing. I have some Lakes polishing and finishing pads coming in the mail for my DA. Right now I've got some #26, #9, and #7. I know I need to get some more like #80, #83, etc. My question is are there any products that are especially good for red? My paints in good shape, just some minor swirling, nothing major and nothing that appears deep, just surface stuff. Also, I've read about hard and soft paint on here, does anyone know how hard or soft Ford F150 paint is? Thanks guys!

lol too bad.... now someone else gets to have an awesome deal....hahaha

Well maybe not as this Red Truck (and) another is about to have a Birthday sitting on the dealers lot. Me thinks because their both Red, the only two leftovers!
Now a Red Lamborghini or Ferrari or I'll even toss in a Dodge Viper, I'll look at them allllll day long. Heck I'll even sleep in the Garage!

Re: Lets Talk RED Paint...?

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

Lydia has it right! Other than BLACK, RED is the ONLY other color!

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!

Awesome red truck!

I had a red Sonoma for 14 yrs. When that truck was detailed it turned heads till the day I traded it in. I would say go for it.

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.

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

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.
