    Prevention of red paint fading - products available?

    Hello,

    This is not related to my Corvette.
    I'd like to know if there's anything available on the market that prevents or at least significantly retards fading of single stage red paint. From what I've heard only a layer of clear coat will really help.

    Keep it out of the sun, keep it clean and waxed. If it is a good brand of paint, applied properly and properly maintained there should be very little or no fading.

      If a car has to sit in the sun all day a car cover - even a cheap one - is the best protection for the same reason that a simple T-shirt keeps us from getting sunburned. It absorbs or reflects the UV radiation.

        What kind of paint ? If its urathane It shouldnt fade . If its acrylic it dries by evaporition , that means it never stops drying and will always dull a little .If it is lacquer it will dull a little but should shine up with a good wax job . use a good wax with a cleaner . Last but not least I hope some dumb A&S did not put flatner in the paint to try to make it look like lacquer If so you will need a new paint job or live with a dull car .
