minimizing fading on bodywork
Any tips for reducing the amount of fading on body work?
We have a job to letter up a brand spanking Rolls Royce and understandably the customer would like it to look as good as new when they are finished with it. I’ve basically said that keeping in clean/polished/waxed and garaged whenever possible are the best bets but any other top tips would be much appreciated.
There is only going to be a very subtle (anthracite onto black) logo fitted onto the doors.
Cheers
Gavin

Of all the vehicles in the World, a Roller is probably the least likely to suffer from paint fade. They do something like 12 coats.
Anyways, I don’t think fading is the biggest problem. The problem is the millions of minute scratches that all cars get covered in over time. When the vinyl is removed it reveals perfect paintwork underneath which contrasts with the worn areas.
I’m sure a decent wax and buff would remedy this. Anyone who can afford a Roller can surely afford to pay a GOOD valeter to do this.

Or get it wrapped in clear film first!
