I like the solid colors myself. Probably because it is less work to paint . The two-tones are really nice when done right though. If you have the trim and want to use it, and like the combo, go for the red/white. If you do not have the trim, or would have to repair it to look good with the new paint, then solid it would be for me!

Just my $.2, and I could be wrong.

The white/red combo is the way to go, its a head turner and it looks great.

Candy Apple is hard to get right. If the painter isn't top of the line the paint looks like it has lines running through it.
