FYI red is the most oxidized color.doesn't matter what kind of red you put on it will flatten out over time from the sun.

Formula IMO. If you are gonna have a red car, might as well make it REALLY red...

The only red that I find preferable is candy apple - like this:

(Nevermind the PT cruiser... that's just what I found on the net.)
