Hi All, Just sent my RED 13 plate van in for a service at Metrux in Leicester, asked them to look at the paint fade while it was being carried out, this was their reply:

MB: Yes the paint is faded but we are not taking this any further action sir
ME: So why are the metal panels fading and the plastic panels are not fading
MB: That is because the metal panels are not lacquered sir
Me: So if they are not lacquered it will never stop fading
MB: No sir, but you need to regularly polish the van to stop it fading sir

Has anyone out there had any similar issues this their VAN/CAR and if so have you managed to get MB to do anything about it?
 
I don't think the dealership can do anything about the paint fading.
Red colour is one of the worst for faiding but there are ways to fix this problem. A detailer can sort it out by machine polishing the van and sealing the paint. It should look good for a long time as long as you maintain it

I've detailed some red cars in the past and when I say red they looked more like matt pink but you can bring the paint to look like new and it's quite satisfying seeing the results :)
