I love the red. It is was the only colour for me! Definitely no regrets at all.
So far the paint is fine. There isn't a scratch or swirl mark on it anywhere. My son even commented he could see himself in the reflection on the paint. I can't tell yet weather or not it is easy to damage because I haven't tried to clean it yet. Hopefully it is not a big hassle! I got the paint protection package, which hopefully helps. The car isn't a daily driver and will stay in my garage so the risk of scratches from the environment etc... will be minimal. I have already read the riot act to everyone in my house about brushing up against it etc... haha! I haven't washed it yet, but did use a California duster on it a few times now. No scratches or swirl marks yet (cross my finger). I also have 3m rock protection on it (full bumper, mirrors, and part of the hood. I bought a car cover for it also, but it turned out to be a nylon type of material. Therefore, I will likely return it for a softer cotton type of cover. I also plan on being pretty careful washing and drying it.
That being said, I have owned red cars in the past, and they do tend to show scratches and/or swirl marks more than on other colours, aside from black. However, for me it is a personal preference. I love red and needed the car to be red lol. Plus I heard the red 370 cars have 5+ hp more than other 370 cars coloured differently (joke).
