Do red cars still fade badly?
Discussion
The red paint on my '93 GTO fades seriously on the plastic wing mirrors and rear aero but not on the vertical plastic panels and not at all on any metal panels.
A three monthly helping of Color Magic polish brings it back. I'm sure using t-cut that frequently would have removed all the paint by now.

most red cars produced in the last year should be ok for the future. When buying my astra i mentioned the fading red paint on some vauxhalls and the salesman said that a completely new colour and type of paint is being used on new red vauxhalls from approx 2007 onwards
I had a new Alfa Romeo Spider in red, I only kept it for 2 years so didnt notice any fade obviously, one thing I did notice with the red paint was the swirl marks that appeared a few months into ownership. Red really seems to show them up under harsh light, I dont know whether this is a red car thing, or an Alfa thing though.
