Silver or Black: does one colour get scratched or worn looking faster?

Re: Silver or Black: does one colour get scratched or worn looking faster?

Black always looks worse for wear when the paint rubs off and the body color shows through. The contrast between a Black body and the brass or whatever is beneath will always be more than a silver body.

Some people take that as a good sign when they have well worn gear, others baby their cameras. A camera today, unless it is an expensive Leica, loses it's value fast because a newer model will be out next week. So there's really no reason to baby it.
