If you were buying a car, which color would you chose? Red or Bright Silver? I’ll be painting a 96 VW Passat later today and can’t decide on which color. Help me out. ---

dont red car raise your insurance? (think this is a myth dunno). But it depends on the red. Is it like a crimson? If its a deep red id go with the red. Bright silver is to neutral doesn’t really stand out, just blends in. ---

I voted silver even though mines red. Red does not (and should not) raise insurance. Mines already high enough. Only Reason I do not like Red is that its hard to hide from cops when u have a classic plate, and you drive a couple times a week more than you should. ---

Silver FTW on a daily driver: Metallic silver is a color that stays cleaner looking than the rest Metallic silver attracts less attention than red Metallic silver hides microscratches in the clearcoat. ---

I voted silver because red is hard to find the right shade. If you put one on that is too bright… it looks like a plastic car. ---
