Fading paint on hood

**bail** · August 24th, 2016 03:39 AM

Ive noticed that the paint on hood on the center part keeps fading. Does it have anything to do with the engine? Might be too hot? Corolla 1997 gli 1.6 here.

Ganyan din sa kin- repaint na yan tapos papalitan mo na yung anti-heat matting sa loob ng hood.

normally nangyayari yan pag manipis na ang coat of paint or luma na ang paint.
kung bagong pintura, it could be that the paint is not properly cured or not properly layered.

tama ang solution, put an insulator below the hood. it helps.

I'm also bewildered by this, I personally haven't experience hood paint fading in any of our vehicles. Either vehicles with or without hood insulation.

Seen that so many esp those without covered parking. Trunk and roof fades.

Di ba kaya ng rubbing?

Lalo mag fade yan if i-rubbing mo. Rubbing compound will remove paint. Repaint lang ang solution as mentioned above.

effect na din siguro iyan ng years of constant exposure sa uv rays. ang colors na may shades of red pa naman ang pinakamabilis o mas prone magfade kapag matagal na tinatamaan ng hagupit ng uv rays

Hamog sa umaga yan na natutuyo pagsikat ng araw, nagiging stain na magaspang hanggang mag fade.
Try mo ipolish kung matatangal pa if nandun pa din repaint na yan
