Also keep in mind that black (the color with all colors in it), absorbs the most light energy from the sun's rays, therefore it gets the hottest in the sun. Therefore it will be more suseptable to damage than any other color when exposed to the same amount of UV radiation. Also factor in that we've been destroying the atmosphere more in these last 2 decades than any other time before in existance, and you can see why it's so tough to make a cost effective paint and application technique that can withstand more than a few years of this UV exposure and still look good. Ford REALLY only cares about if the car's condition makes it through warrantee. Anything beyond that and they figure it's all on you now
