From what Ive seen, red is the least desirable color. Takes longer to sell, and doesnt sell for as much as other colors. This car wont be all-original anyways, so I dont think changing the color will actually drop the price.



Dark silvers and pewters dont look right on FC's. I havent seen one I liked yet.



But thanks for the opinions.

unless you're painting every square inch keep it red. red verts bring an extra $1000 over any other color, i dunno about the coupes though

You could always just paint it a different shade of red. This is what I plan on doing. Kandy apple red is the leader so far....

That was my plan, no matter what color I paint it. Other reds are an option too, but I definately need to see the color on the car. Some colors that are very nice on their own just look aweful on FC's.



At one point, I wanted to paint this car a deep crimson metallic. I love that color, but Ive only seen it on one FC, and didn't like it. But the pics were limited, and I may like it when done right. Im open to suggestions, especially if you have pics.

I really like the look of dark red second gens. Not maroon or metallic, just a few shades darker than blaze.

I was really expecting white to do better...

Maybe black is my destiny....of the 4 FC's I have owned, all have been S5's, and 3 of them have been black. The TII was the only non-black FC Ive had.
