I will say this about red as a colour for a car, if you plan on keeping a red car for a long time, expect to have different levels of fade on the various panels. Red is one of the easiest colours on a car for me to detect differences in the deepness of colour. I dunno what it is. I've owned a red celica, a red ae92 all at the time when they were about 16 years old. 1988 ae92 was with me in 2005, 1990 celica was with me in 2006. Both had stock paint, both had uneven shades of red over time.

I would predict that you'll start noticing fade on a red car after 5 years from now easier than a darker coloured car with metalic flake in it.
