Talking Is white faster???

Is this proof that white is the quickest colour?
Why else would you wrap it?

Why on earth would you not wrap the whole car or take the entire wrap off so buyers could inspect the paint?

I have been told that white is lighter than other colors so it would be faster.

Anyone weigh different colors and brands of paint for the ultimate lightweight?

Now a wrap would just be extra weight.

I am guessing the whole car was wrapped white and the rear bumper got hot from exhaust heat. Then the wrap started bubbling and had to be removed.

I would say white is the coolest color during the summber heat waves, but +1 on Guards Red being the fastest color.

Not sure, but it was about 350# on a P-51 Mustang so the started to leave the paint off.
