I am going to test ride a viper next week, I was wondering how you guys like the white paint? Does it look dirty after riding? Is it going to hold up over time? I am looking at the blue and white paint scheme. thanks

I have 800 miles on mine and it still looks brand new. But I am rediculous about cleaning and waxing after each ride or trip.

I have just under 3000miles and mine looks brand new, but like Apex2006 I clean and wax after every ride or trip. I do have some little scratches from my boots, but they are still white just light scratches. No worries on the white. Just take care of her and she will bring you home, unless you didn't buy an extra belt and it broke...lucky that didn't happen to me!

The belt dust is a pain but all it takes is a wipe and its clean again, usually clean mine every 2nd or 3rd trip


White is holding up great and cleans very easily on tunnel. Very happy to my surprise! Stickers by exhaust not so happy with but still looks sharp as anything out there.

Pretty sure the paint is powdercoat, which is very durable and easy to keep clean.

Agree with all of the above, the white actually isn't bad
