does silver paint last?

[crosem]

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???

A good safety color, like white, yellow or orange (M-Benz
did a famous study on this a dozen years ago) will let your car be seen at
night .. . avoiding a bit o' trouble.

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 .. .

thank you very much. I am trying to buy white, but have been offered that
silver car...I think I will get a 2003 white LX w/ the side air bags, auto
trans, AC and many features standard that used to be options...

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
