    Not the color I want but I can get a smoken deal on a 06 RED Truck.
    Will Red show every little water spot/etching dust.etc like Black...which makes me nuts
    I'm talking solid Red w/clearcoat no metallic.

    What kind of truck? Some trucks look great in red and are very good for resale. Other, like dually's, not so good. Personal taste though.

    Not as bad as black and not as good as white. I am sure some detailers will jump in here pretty quick. A killer coat of wax will do miracles along with a clay bar if needed.

    Red isn't as bad as black...but it does show little scratching over time (drying with towels) and dings are magnified just as bad as black or darker colors. Its the tickets I would be worried about. :jawdrop:

    Not near as bad as black. Ten times better than farm-truck white.
    I call it the happy-medium, as it still shows shine and depth (as white doesn't) but doesn't show every imperfection and dirt (like black).

    I heard red cars/trucks are faster!
    That's absolutely true...
    Red gets the most tickets but the least amount of accidents, I hear...
    I love my red truck. It hides dirt relatively well too
    Downfall... it doesn't match my boat.

    How can I go wrong...well...it's Red, again not a fan of Red.
    Then I thought what if i bought it then tried to resell...make a few $$$.
    So then I started to think, why has it been sitting at the Dealers lot since last Summer, because it's Red? Maybe not that easy to sell.
    Anyway, I was just wondering how bad Red is with water spots dirt etc.
    Thanks for all the feedback.
