hey wats goin on, i had a quick question. i was thinkin of purchasing a red ws6, my only concern was how the paint holds up (fading, cracking, etc...) throughout the years of the sun beatin on it and such. i know ford red gets pretty bad after a few years (atleast the old models w/ red paint did). anyway, jus wanna see how the paint holds up since it will be a daily driver for the most part, thanks in advance

You won't have any problems as long as you maintain it correctly. The red paint on my 99 Silverado still looks great.

thanks for the replys. yea if i got it (no matter what color) i was going to keep it maintained as best as i could. the only problems would be in the winter time and stuff even though for the most part i would have it covered. im still thinkin about that, its between the red ws6 and a white ss , haha....tough decisions. thanks again

Mine is outside all day long and it still looks great. As long as you take care of the paint like everyone else said then you will be fine

The only flaws in my paint are some minor chips in the bumper and hood from road debris (well, until it was in an accident yesterday anyway). And mine's a red 98 t/a that's been driven through snow and rain with 60,000 miles on it. But then I love washing my car, so grime never has a chance to build up on it.

I have a red one and live in jersey like yourself and she looks great. Your paint should not fade because most of the waxes and polishes have uv blocking agents in them. good luck!

car cover or garage if your that worried. mine doesnt have enough miles, isn't old enough, and is garaged and covered so i wouldn't really know about any fade.

my red car looks fine except for the chips and scratches. just keep wax and wash.
