Red oxidizes the most out of all colors. Quite a few car companies do not clear coat red cars due to this reason. I have a Phoenix Red ralliart and yes the paint is thin a chips easily, but it should not fade if you polish is and keep a good coat of wax on it.

 

When I bought my touch up paint, the pen said pheonix red on it. The dealer assured me it was the same. Paint looked fine, but the pen is useless.

Mitsu doesn't use clear on metalic or pearl paints. I was told that by the Mitsu bodyshop manager at my local dealer when I had some paint work done on my Red EVO 8.

 

well my silver it still sick! haha

 

I have a RR and yes the paint sucks, but so do many of the other colors. Yes you should avoid it because besides being crappy it attracts too much attention from cops

 

I loved my red EVO. I wish they made a red SE.

 

yes I seen that link, but again like I said it is not the same color, it doesn't match exactly. Same thing with Weightless White and Wicked White, close but not the exact same. Mitsu supercedes some paints, in fact when I went to go buy my weightless white touch up paint, they said wicked white superceded and then when I got my touch up paint in, it was labeled as igloo white? All I know is, it doesn't match when I put it on, it looked like a bright white and my weightless white is more creamy.
