as you can probably tell my amber faded and it looks yellowish. i used the orange krylon stained glass window paint. i've heard using some type of UV protectant wax will help keep the color from fading.

Yeah I did the krylon stained glass spray to both of my cars. It does seem to fade over time. I cleared the ones I did about a month or so ago and they're already fading. MAybe I should try touching them up and waxing them (funny I work at a detail shop and didn't think of that).
