White is the best, black is the worst. So I assume any light colour would be at the top of the list and any very dark colour would be least favorable.
Then you get into;

With all of the different kinds of paint out there some are bound to be better at aging than others. |

hmmm....Red is a PITA so is yellow, though in yellow's case its because its near impossible to match after its been in the sun for 6 months. Red will fade because of the way they make the pigment (oxide/rust). Silver dosnt seem to fade that much though the clear coat will oxidise quickly on silver because it gets a double dose of sunlight (UV is the killer) due to the light being reflected by the silver bellow it. I havnt had problems with black fading but black is a bitch to keep nice because of its tendency to show every little mark and bit of dirt. As for advice for picking colours for resprays....... Do the colour YOU like!!!!! Your opinion is the most important and if you have your heart set on a particular colour, spray it that colour and dont look back. The extra few hours it will take to keep dark colour looking nice is better than not having to polish a colour that you didnt really like.
T-cut is excellent to bring the paint back up and afterwards I'd use Autoglym though it might be hard to get outside of the UK or Australia.
Just out of interest has anyone compared Autoglym to Zymol?
I havnt seen Zymol out here (Australia) but if anyone could point me to someone selling it in NSW, I would really appreciate it.
