So, got back home and was telling some friends about it and one of them asked what colour is it? I answered RED. Well, I seriously thought they were having a lend of me at this stage, but I now want to find out if it is true. Does red paint has something in it that is stuffed up by the sun? and cars that are painted red need to be constantly polished or the paint job will be ruined?Any help would be muchly appreciated. Not too keen to part with that much money and find out in a few years I need to get a respray.

Just depends on where it is stored and how it is looked after IMO. I could be wrong though.

I wanted a seduce FG turbo when I was looking to buy new, gorgeous.

There just a pain in the ass to look after, needs constant washing if stored outside Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60225-should-you-stay-away-from-red-painted-cars/#findComment-915452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
