Does Painting A Car Bright Makes It Less Vulnerable To Theft? by Nobody: 12:23pm On Dec 12, 2013
I have a friend that had this bright idea that painting her car into a weird and bright color will make it less attractive to thieves.

She is thinking colors like bright pink... mustard... mermaid picture... fire brand... fuchsia pink... turquoise blue...

I told her it makes no difference, better get a tracker installed.

That's never going to work when we have very good painters both local or doing an oven baked work. Some armed robbers steal cars to re-sell while others steal cars to dismantle and sell parts. The only good idea to me is to buy a car that doesn't attract the thieves. Japanese cars in general has a very high risk to theft so it depends on what your friend is driving.

She is absolutely right... The colour variation of a car makes it more noticeable and that in turn makes it scary to steal cus a mermaid, turquoise or light pink car can easily catch passerby's attention and the car can be tracked if proper policing and investigation is carried out.

Yeah... I thought so too kinda...if she is known with the car, will be quite odd for the car to be seen with someone else and easy to trace by the police cos of d unusual color.
