Is it true about red cars having higher insurance rates?

Yes, I hear it has something to do with the paint it self. I heard about this from a person who paints cars for a living.

huh? I thought it was more like red cars stand out more, hence police give more tickets? Or most people who buy sports cars go with red and crash? What are you talking about paint for?

Lol if it was like that trans then yellow car are the same. It's the paint it self the paint cost more.

I also think its a myth since insurance companies don't judge its rates on car color.

No, my insurance company doesn't even know what color my car is...

Do you even have insurance? Because I've never been asked what color my car is through each insurance company I've had, so I don't know why you'd even ask this.

Blue, like the WRX's blue. But my second choice is grey.

Ryuu0u 04-30-2011 01:50 AM

Dark Green Mica, prolly wont be an actual choice so maybe red or white.

[es vi: eks] 04-30-2011 03:15 AM

Im a fan of Red. But could go yellow, Gunmetal, Pearl white mica, Maybe even black.
Funny enought same colours of most of the cars I owned over the years.

Fortunate Few 04-30-2011 03:26 AM

black or incredibly dark gray

My FR-S is still in elemental rock form that needs to be smelted into sheet metal first, so I would say it's currently dark metallic grayish brown that sparkles in the sunlight?

TRDMAN 04-30-2011 03:59 AM

Plum Crazy Purple

I'll probably get flamed for this, but even if they don't offer an orange, I'd probably get it repainted similar to this color.

Wow, a lot of white has been mentioned here. I thought more exotic colors would be suggested, but I guess a lot of people are going for the "clean" look.

my insurance company (nationwide) knows the color of all of our cars

also, this car is definitely going to be rocking some kind of a deep semi-gloss grey. i've had my heart set on gunmetal for a while
