Colours - scratches & swirls

[gtr1000]

A colleague at work is looking to get a new motor (it's Swedish) and has asked which of the following colours will show the least swirl marks in future months / years:

Dark blue pearlescent
Silver metallic
Bright red (solid)
White (solid)

Also, will white fade or discolour in time?

Your pearls of wisdom will be appreciated.

I would say silver, my ultra blue veccy is bad for them

silver

Silver.

The easier answer is of course to avoid swirks, make sure is is washed properly!

Dark colours show swirls up the most so Blue is out.
Red and white are single stage paints so oxidise and fade or loose their shine

The only option left is silver.

its simple silver is best

[learoy69]

the answer is white followed by silver
white will oxidise if not looked after with it not being clear coated

Silver is for wimps. Tell him to get a man's colour. Black.

I agree nothing like a clean, waxed black car.
