I have the barcelona Red and the chips pop because there is white primer under the paint. I have several rock chips already with a car door bankg in the side after only one month its starting to look like it has the chicken pocks in reverse.

months for a silver? Holy, wow! There a dime a dozen here and sitting on the lots while the other colors seem to be flying off the shelf. I hate broccoli so now it makes sense!

I'm pretty sure my Gen II classic silver metallic had white primer. It definitely wasn't black.

That's what i think the problem is with all silver cars. At one point I had three silver cars at once and they all looked lackluster no matter what the brand.

I think the sandy beach really looks nice but I'm afraid that it will fade as well.

Classic silver does have white primer, or at least my scratches look white...

Silver is still the flagship colour
