MR2 Faded Red Paint

[Agent57]

Can anyone recommend someone in the south who can deal with faded red paint please?

Probably needs a M.O.P. for my 1997 MR2. Mainly the bonnet.

Any advice/experiences welcome.

Thanks.

If not too bad a polish with Meguiars No.7 Glaze will make a big difference, but will need doing fairly regularly.

Thanks.

I was thinking of taking it in to have it done professionally.

Anyone have any recommendations?

just do T-Cut and some polish. See what happens you might be pleasantly surprised and save a grand for a complete respray.

Red is notorious for fading, but also responds pretty well to the above.

It will get to the point though that it will need a re-paint at some point in it's life.

My red MR2 has also faded very slightly and although it does come back with a good polish, I know it will need a respray at some point. I'll wait until the prices of them start climbing though, I reckon it would be a bit premature just now.
