    I voted for MGM versus RR. Now, if the poll was for MGM or BR, then that would really be a tough choice. I am just leery of red paint. I know too many people that have seen fading on their red paint. Maybe I'm just worrying over nothing really.

    I have a Radiant Red and I love it, but I they stopped producing that color in 2008. They now have Barcelona Red which isn't as "RED" as Radiant Red so I would say Magnetic Gray.

    Have any RR owners experienced fading problems on certain parts of the truck? (ie. The piece directly in front of the hood scoop or door handles?)
