I don't think it is fading , I've had Signalred cars , and similar colours , which indeed fade to a sort of pink shade , but mine is bright and as it should be , as per the pictures .
The metalwork I uncovered was a much darker shade and entirely different , which struck me as odd since I thought the shells were all dip painted in the factory .
Strangely enough though , now I come to think of it , the boot floor / wheel well / insides of the doors never struck me as being a different colour when I was in there , and these areas wouldn't normally be painted in a colour change .
There is no question that the car has been painted at some point - overspray on the exhaust being the most glaring sign , little bits of bubbling on one rear wheel arch and lacquer lifting off the bonnet also suggesting it .
