Well the OH's old Corsa died a few weeks ago - the floor pan had more rot in it than a pprly maintained cappo!!! So she's got a new toy - apparently the factory description of the colour is lipstick red (I'd have called it dildo pink  ) but I just cant believe toyota would actually produce a car this colour!!! |

| It didn't actually come out of the factory that faded. |

| From what I've seen most Toyota reds do this. |

Looks more like Frenchletter Pink to me...
My wife had a Fiat Cinquecento sport that did that. Took me hours with the T Cut to get it anwhere back like looking normal before we sold it. |

Perhaps knowing that the plastic parts would go pink they deliberatly used a paint for the metal work that would fade at a faster rate to match.
I'm glad Suzuki didn't think like that.

| red cars only go pink when exposed to air and sunlight. If you keep your car waxed, the air doesn't get to it. Faded paint is a sign of poor maintenance. Clear coat also keeps the air away from the colour coat which is why metallics don't fade. |

I think everyone knows what causes it but some paints are more prone to severe fading than others though. I was told it was down to how much of certain colours are used in the mixing of the paint. I think it was something to do with how much blue is used but can't remember which way round it goes  |

| Apart from the lower rear bumper, which is doing a remarkable imitation of 'cappo wing mirror pink', the colour on the rest of the car is remarkabley consistent - even the dorr inners ect that never see the sun. Either it's a colour that just fades no matter what it's exposed to or this is the original colour - I might have to buy a can from paints4u just to find out |

| Looking at pictures of other Toyota cars that are meant to be the same colour they look nothing like |

| ^ lol! I'm getting used to it now, and I'm starting to quite like it too. Dosn't mean I'm going to start driving it though, or rushing out and re-painting the AZ-1 to match |
