Why don't silver cars seem to oxidize anymore?
Hi all. I just bought a 2004.5 Silverstone Enthusiast 6 speed 
I was wondering why silver cars don't seem to oxidize anymore. 20 years ago I never would have purchased a silver car. Silver and a lot of metallics used to oxidize and turn gray and white within a couple of years. I haven't seen this happen in a long time. Does anyone know what has changed in the paint over the years?

Didn't it used to be non-metallic? The 2nd gen Eclipse silver is non-metallic and hideous.
