rusty998 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Currently roaming Brecon and came across this beautifully sun bleached Skoda, I haven't seen one quite this bad/beautiful in decades so I'm wondering does anyone have any more pictures of sun bleached goodness?

sierraman Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I think you’d develop arthritis of the elbow trying to T-Cut that lot. rusty998 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurious Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Can anyone explain why it's red cars that are particularly bad for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I read all colours react this way, but red on the electromagnetic spectrum absorbs shorter wavelength UV rays which is the one that does more damage, or the pigment in red paint is more susceptable to sun bleaching, or the pigment in red is organic, using dye from the carmine beetle. Choose which one you believe more. I think red doesn't use lacquer, or didn't, and anything that doesn't, be it blue, white or whatever will just weather away and fade. The 106 that I had was still very red. Spurious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob88h Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Another Pogweaseltastic X-reg Felicia. It’s a true beauty to behold. I’m particularly fond of the accident damage that has acted as a polishing method where contact was made on the rear door. I parked next to it when I went to the sports centre for a swim. It was all I could think about and lost count of my lengths. I decided to stake out and meet the owner and get myself in-line for a none disrespectful sale, or at least to leave my number and a note. Alas when I was out it had gone from my life and my dreams were drowned. Isopon, LightBulbFun and Rusty_Rocket 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
