[QUOTE="glazzy, post: 481752, member: 266"] I know this cos my b/f is a painter and has worked in main dealers like fords and bmw. The dealer doesn't know his arse from his elbow, pearls are a bit harder wearing cos of the extra coat of paint but all this metalic flake stuff is pants. Nowadays red paint doesn't fade because all or at least most new cars come with a top coat of lacquer to stop it oxidising. You can buy car wax from anywere like halfords or even your local super market and it's not a specialised thing, it will help the lacquer last a bit longer and make the car look nice and shiny but it's not something i'd pay a car dealer for when it'll only cost a few quid if you buy it yourself :thumbsup: All pearl painted cars should have a coloured groundcoat, blue will have blue or black and red will have red. They have to use a colour so the pearl effect will work. They do get dirtier quicker though. Normal colours don't use a coloured groundcoat it's just the pearl ones. I know this cos Ste just told me but i have watched him paint loads of times and in the past we've had a pearl blue car that he had to paint and he used a blue ground coat :thumbsup: darker cars will show any dents, scuffs or scratches more than a silver one. The 3 year cover on the paintwork will be for natural rust(faulty panel), imperfections in the paint and fade or tarnishing of the lacquer but not for rust caused through scratches or damage. I hope this helps :thumbsup: jayne x [/QUOTE]
