Well, I didn't sell the car until about a year & a half after he'd done the work to it & it was still mint, it certainly didn't look like a different shade of Red so again I think it's down to how good the chap's work is
I meant a couple of years in the sun, and I bet your car was garaged.
If not then fair play to him, even bodyshops cant manage what he did from what ive seen.
