The paint that is sprayed on any flexible surface like plastic, fiberglass, or other composite/polymer material on your car contains more elastomers (I believe that is what they are called, so that it can flex w/o cracking). Soooo...could this mean that the since the paint is "softer", it is more susceptible to fading and/or oxidizing more quickly than that which is found on your metal panels (which contains less elastomers)?

alot of big words....:thinking: yeah that sounds right to me too, my friend has a 99 Maxima SE that has the same problem so thats prolly it

Nah, the before and after pics were done with different cameras. The first picture of both cf euros and big dent were done with a lesser quality camera so didn't retain the color as good and plus it was out in the sun. The second pics of red/clears and clean side were taking in the shade and with a $500 camera vs. a $250 camera.
