I've been running a proffesional paint and custom workshop for almost 14 years now.

Pearl based colours is the most expensive oem paint to buy.
To make it worse, you have dark blue pearl... Yep, even with a good clear coat, they still show swirl marks, finger print marks, tree saps, bird dropping spots & so on...

 

from what ive seen its black, also thats what i hear.

 

black hands down...but i still keep on buying them.ha ha...

White is so much easier to maintain,...

 

Black!

Silver has to be the easiest to maintain

Yes, you're rite,.. Silver hides all imperfections and fine scratches and swirls...

 

is it true that silver oxidizes faster than other colors?
(I'm trying to decide between black and silver btw)

 

Red oxidizes like a ****. Not only MR. But black is a BITCH to make look good.

Definitely no.. Silver is the most neitral colour. Easiest to maintain and it looks clean even when its dusty... Trust me, I'm in this industry for pretty long.

Red is the colour that can be damaged by UV at the fastest rate. It will turn pink in no time, if applied unprofessionally.
