When you hear stories like this, you begin to wonder if the color red was so 'unlucky', then why did you buy it in the first place? (facepalm) Painting grey over a unlucky color, is like putting a bag over an ugly woman. The bag doesn't change the fact that there's still an ugly woman underneath.

The real facepalm... you just compared a guards red 996 to an ugly woman in a bag

Say it aint so Charlie. You're nice guy, not a pedant. It's a simile. Read it again.

I'm not Asian and my last name's not Miyagi and so it's cool with me! hahaha. But I do like the Grey tones too... as you can see. There are many colors I wouldn't paint a Porsche, but guards red, speed yellow ... and even that super rare green color is cool. I know this may bring out the natives, but there you go.

See you later Charlie. I'm going to hide now.

You sound like Hawk... it had to have a bright red car. Maybe influenced by his beautiful wife? I don't know, but lately, he has painted everything in that car guards red. hahahaa
