hello, i was talking to one of my friends today about my new ca, and he asked if it was a redtop or a blacktop. mine is black, but i just assumed the previous owner painted the valve covers. is there really a redtop and blacktop ca? and what are the differences? thanks, and sorry if this is dumb!

Nope no red or blacktop in the CA18 series..

The most common series when talking about red or blacktop is the SR20

You can take the man out of the military, but you can't take the military out of the man!

I ain't even been out a year. It's still with me, haha.
