Post by: sundaydriver on 06 January 2013, 15:18

The red pigment is affected by uv from the sun

Class. I love doing red cars as I feel you can see the biggest difference in them. Like above make sure you slap on some EXP or the likes to keep it from going back to pink.

If I had the space, I'd go out and buy a car like that just to find out.
