    mines silver and the paint is fine. fade wise anyway, the bloke i bought it off tried using touch up paint on a couple spots. kinda looks like silver on darker silver cammo lol.

    Red is single stage - doesn't not have any clear coat on it.

    If you keep it polished and clean it looks great....But otherwise it can look RS very quickly.

    You see alot of red VXs that look like they're about 40 years old driving around. But looks hot when it's polished, waxed and looked after.

    Red is harder to keep shiny and looking clean (shows up dirt & road grime etc) so i'd pick the silver.

    Silver matches alloy wheels (not that that really matters) and is a common colour.

    But then red cars go faster...
