    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...
