does silver paint last?

#1

am buying a 2002-2003 Accord. have been offered one with silver paint, but
I seem to recall a caveat about not buying silver or red cars, as the paint
doesn't last. I keep my cars forever...first choice is white, but if
another color is much cheaper???

Sounds like you'd be ASKING for trouble, considering the current
methods of road tax collection in this country and Canada.

Never heard of a "stealth" color that'll sneak you under the radar.
Take public transit .. . let 'em speed trap that .. .

I do so love my White '92 Accord LX two door 5 speed with the blue
interior. Bought it new, and it's got 215,000 miles on it now. bob
