This is way off topic but I have been wanting to show you guys for awhile now anyway lol.
Well after my car was down over a year while we did body work and prepped it for paint. It cam out great as you can see in the first pic. 2 week\'s later it started to fade I think Mike saw it at his store while I had the fenders off it. The next pic was took today just around a year later.
Come to find out that the House of Kolor\'s neon orange paint was only meant for race cars or something that would need repainted every week or so anyway. They just didn\'t bother telling me that until after I spent $1,400.00 on the paint alone. Atlease I didn\'t have to pay a painter lol.

I know Maaco was famous for fading paintjobs a few years ago.

I\'d check with HOK on that one. I can\'t see them making a paint like that(temporary paint) available to publc, seems kinda odd like the clear wasn\'t UV protective. Did the guy use HOK clear too?

this seems odd to me.. Ive sprays several trucks with HOK..never heard of this...

Ya we used everything from HOK. When the paint store called them they said that being that it was a neon paint that there was nothing we could do. Even if I keept it garaged it would have only slowed the fading :dry: . It sucked tho because I really liked the orange and black look. I was making it a HalloweeN inspired civic lol.
