Don't be ridiculous.

I don’t think it makes a difference. Over time paint wears off just like most things in life over time things wear out or break etc

I do believe that lighter color paint last longer. I remember when Delta (or perhaps it was Northwest) changed from darker color to mostly white on their planes. They did it because it would save money because the paint would last longer.
