I would guess it is minimal with the vehicle spending much time in a shed away from sunlight Experiments I have conducted have proven otherwise...Alkyd Enamel chemistry based paint has poor uv sunlight resistance & fades significantly with UV exposure..... Why one would go through the extreme efforts of sandblasting/preparation required to properly prepare a vehicle for paint & use a low quality paint is beyond me.....I suppose it is a cost issue....If that is the case, I would skimp on the tires. Overall, it is the restorer"s vehicle end use as a goal in paint choice. [Reply]  [No Email]

And yes if you get a good coat of wax on it and keep them outta sunlight they will shine for years. [Reply]  [No Email]
