The red is actually primer, the first layer of paint, in case anyone was wondering the actual explanation.

Red would be a terrible primer color for white.

I assumed a sense of humor, but wearing down to the primer/previous paint job makes sense.

That's just the colour a lot of primers are, it's the same reason most ship's hulls are red.
