Faded flame red

[marc69]

Yes, you guessed right, flame red that is now pink.

I have tried T cutting it three times already, today I borrowed a mates car polisher thing and t-cut it with that, it is slightly better but that was affter 2 and a half hours.

Apart from respraying or embracing pink, is there an easy way to bring it back?

I have wondered at perhaps really fine wet paper?

Get your mates buffer again with a corse compound and then a fine compond after that, t-cut and polish and if that dont work you need paint. I done this to my ex's pinapple yellow tigra a that was faded white and it came up mint

Mop it with g3?

Bin the t-cut, it's sh*te.

You dont need to flat it with wet and dry. You need a good polish of a light compound. Then alot of wax.

Thanks, what's a good compound? Pulsar mentioned G3 above?

[Benn]

G3 is very good, cheap and you can get it most places. Gotta remember to wax after tho...

Thanks, I'll post a pic in a few days hopefully!!

Just checking, is it the G3 paint restorer here from Halfords at £10

Id highly recommend Chemical guys Jetseal 109 after polishing. Its easy to work with and works well with flame red paint. The longer you leave it before rubbing off and the more coats applied the better.

Is it a proper rotary polisher? Not one of those two handled argos things. My first nova was flame red and seriously faded, came up great but took lots and lots of passes with g3/water using a rotary polisher. Time consuming. Good luck.
