I also remember a time when "fly-nighters" (scammers) came through the
countryside painting roofs; they'd mix silver paint with kerosene or very
cheap thinner, "paint" a roof with it, take the "already-poor" home owner
and be gone before the homeowner knew he'd been "had" by the sorry SOB.
The silver "paint" might stay on the roof as much as six months if the
homeowner were lucky. Yeah, yeah, I know, today's auto paint, even silver,
lasts a little longer, but I still can't forget those "quickie" silver roof
"paint jobs" - I see 'em every time I see a silver car.

BTW, I grew up during a time when silver and grey cars faded very fast,
so, call it a bias or whatever, I just don't like silver on a car, but
car
mfgrs seem to have gone crazy as Hell over 'em.
I have been sensitive to that overwhelming number of color on cars
also - and, I don't like it in the least. Why do they do this?
