Can't Decide On The Color! Need Help!

[animal007]

Right now is down to Asphalt, Firestorm, Raven and Argento. My car will spent a lot of time in the sun at work qnd dust will sure get to the car so I have to take that in to considerarion. What are the pros and cons of those 4 colors?

Dirt and dust are going to be very noticable on the Asphalt and Raven. Just keep that in mind.

What about the red paint, will the sun have a big effect on it?

I bought the firestorm one during summer and I can't really tell a difference. During the fall and winter it's a bit darker and during spring and summer the red sticks out.


Personally you should get the white or red one. It stands out and really looks nice.

too early to tell if it'll fade at this point. but reds in general tend to fade or dull out after time.

if you're concerned about the dust and fading, i'd say argento is your best bet.

Let fate decide for you. Take the first one you can get. Of course that won't work if they have all of them on the lot!

Dirt is not so visible on Asphalt. Much less than I expected.

There is nothing like a black car...

I thought the same thing until I washed mine the first time. Still an awesome color.

All my daily drivers have been silver for as long as I can remember. Cool in summer, don't show the dirt or even salt in the winter. In fact, I almost never wash them and they still look good. So if that's what you want, Argento would be your color.

Mine is Firestorm. Looks great when it's clean but because there is no metalflake to make it pop, it's not very forgiving for things like scratches, swirls, dings, etc. Dust and pollen also show up on it very easily. Red is a little more difficult to maintain and it is HOT in the summer sun. But, in my mind, it is the traditional color of a true sports car.

Don't worry about fading - all these cars have modern waterbased clearcoat finishes and they don't fade like the old acrylic enamels.

My choice was easy. Red. Red. And always red.
