My paint sucks......it is faiding really bad. I need to wax it but im really lazy...I think Ill just have someone buff the whole thing

 

the way the milano was painted from the factory was supposedly kind of different.

supposedly the primer is red, and then the only thing over it is clearcoat. I heard this from the body shop I have dealt with in the past (they specialize in acura).

anyway, that was his reason for some people screwing up the paint match on milano red, some will make it orange base or whatever (which you can see in orange street light glow).

as far as fading, no fading on the metal parts, but my spoiler is sure looking bad, it will be time soon to have it removed!

 

My spoiler, my trunk lid, and my hood and mirrors all look like sheit. That just leads me to getting a cf trunk, jdm folding mirrors, and a jdm front end.

 

yeah mine sucks ***. but that was from neglect before i knew what i was doing with wax.

funny you should mention the orange base for bosy shop work, because i had to have a door panel replaced froma deer hit and it matches in daylight but in street light its slightly orange.

Bah, im just gonna have it repainted in the spring.

 

mine is ok. my roof is starting to fade, and 1 of my mirrors are really bad. i was told that honda just uses a 1 stage paint, where they mix the clear in with the color.

 

my roof is kinda faded but using some painter cleaner works well...taking care of your car with a good quality wax will do wonders...


its a 3 stage paint with a gold base coat, a red coat then a pink tint over it....well something along those lines i forgot exactly the steps

 

It happens to all colors.

 

I work at acura and think that if enough people complained they could make a warrany extension on it.
I too have a Milano red GSR. I have a jdm front end and recently had my rear emblems shaved. after these two mods it was apparent how fadded the roof, mirrors, rear bumper and the top of the quarter panel near the rear windows are very faded.

 

Yes it does suck. My rear quarter panel is horrific.

Hows the car run with the supercharger?Is the car stock?How long have you been running it?

 

Car runs great, lots of tourque. Had it for about 9 months now.
How do I know you?

 

my last integra was milano red, i hated it, it would fade within a month of polishing it, it got to me that much that i sold it after 9 months and bought a granada black integra...which is sooooooooo much easier to keep and doesnt fade like red does

 

mine still looks great. this pic is when it was dirty too hadn't been washed for a month.

 

nice teg kelvin.


my 94 milano red is faded like a bitch too, esp around the mirrors, trunk, bumpers.. except on the quarter panels its not that bad. I highly doubt there would be any kind of warranty extension on it but if there was id cry in joy

 

If youre asking me...its been on for over 20k now, and its a lot of fun. Finally plan on getting a few more things tweaked, then heading over to the dyno w/Hondata. I dont think I want to sell it

And B18cya...working out fine? Your tone in recent posts on HB would make one think otherwise

 

Here's mine, but then again, I did just get it repainted not too long ago. Tri coat Milano Red. 3 coats of clear.....

Mine just got painted but its still good.
Car for sale if the offer is right.

 

mine was faded bad after 8 years, i had it painted, my **** was faded bad....looks woderful now

 

Nice DA. What size and offset are you running with your SE37's?

 

17x7.5" with a 40mm offset. The tires are 205/40ZR-17s. Almost wish I got some 215/40ZR-17s. Maybe next time.

 

Its fading because the clear coat is tinted, and its oxidizing.

A quality abrasive polish should remove the fading. Make sure to follow up with a quality sealant. I say sealant and not wax, since sealants tend to last longer and have better resistance to high tempatures and UV light.

Klasse, Blackfire, Platinum, Zaino... all good choices.
I have a 96 and it was hella faded when I bought it. Now it looks good as new.

 

hey style, where did you buy that stuff your talkin about?

 

Yeah mine does!!!! Mine is all faded!! Oh well I'd rather have a fader Milano Red GS-R than a glossy and bright GS

 

Milano Red uses an orange tinted color base coat (over normal primer of course), and then the clearcoat has a purple tint, which together give a red color. My friend's Civic looks like several different shades of red between his trunk, bumper, roof, sides, etc.
