Myself I would go with the YELLOW TOP because the OPTIMA Yellow Top batteries provide constant performance as they are discharging. Even as energy is being drained, your equipment will perform at the same level as when the battery was fully charged. Meaning, you will not hear or feel your equipment slow down or strain for power. The RED is mostly for starting and the BLUE is a high vibration model.

BTW, Did you see the ROCKFORD EXTERRA? What an awsome machine!

The batteries aren't actually painted but rather tinted using vinyl tint (dashboard or bumber) and can be had at any parts store colored to your flavor.  It is a safe method but what about warranty afterwards?  I suggest you ask the manufacturer, go to: http://www.optimabatteries.com/
