I'm only asking because I've just swapped my Pepper Red Ka for a Ford Focus - Colorado Red!
It depends Chim, If the car is painted in a solid colour, ie no lacquer, it can become dull and faded over a course of time and carwashes and using washing up liquid to clean it etc, if it`s a clear over base colour, ie basecoat colour with a lacquer topcoat, it`ll keep its colour and shine for many years.
Aha - so how would I find that out? I've had a Supacoat treatment put on it before I bought it, hopefully that should help?
