Sun bleached Shite

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.

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.

Probably explains why I've seen very few red cars here in Spain.
