As the car is now laid up for winter, I am intending to remove and respray the rear wings and a couple of small areas of corrosion. However have never used red paint before, its notorious for fading. Should I colour match it for as it is now or as the paint is likely to look in a year or two !! Only 1 wing really needs work but am doing both as a matched pair. Also anyone recommend a supplier ??

thanks

Have you thought about doing them black to match the front guards, lights etc? Would look pretty smart and avoid the difficult decision about fading.

Changed mine to black from red for the same reason, they look better black.

Well, they don't look at all bad, thanks for photo, I was worried about the contrast with the carbon fiber stone guards.

You could always get carbon rear arches wink
