White not only hides body work, in my experience it causes it.
I've had four white cars (3 lbc, 1 truck) and ALL of them were totaled when
some driver who claimed " I never saw you!" plowed into me. In three cases
I was stopped at a light or intersection. I'll never buy another white
vehicle. I don't know why but they seem to become invisible under some
circumstances.
