Red dies faster than most other colors. My 67 Dart was wearing the original color which was red acrylic enamel. Tough on road chips tho. I know GM had a problem with white base/clear system years back and Ford did too. I think Chrysler probably had the better luck. My 95 Dakota is just now losing it's clear and base but it's not surface rusting yet. It's emerald green and has never been kept inside.That isint to reassuring, paint going dead.. Im finding more and more that the clear coat they put on now a days (AT FACTORY) seems to go quicker then it should, Ive seen cars as young as 7-8 years with clear coat peeling, I know its nearing a decade but some original paint jobs from the 60s seem to survive better. My Ram is a 97 and the clear is gone from the roof along with most of the paint, the hood is missing some of both and im working now to fix that. I wonder what paint they used in the 60s,70s. I used acrylic enamel thinking that would be close to the older kind of paint. That and it was cheaper then base/clear.
I was a show judge for two years back in 2000-2001 and judged paint jobs based on quality, not color. Anyone who judges points based on color should be banned from judging. Only if the car is entered as being totally original or original restored classes should be judged based on color as in points taken away if the color has been changed.
