Default Why are my Big Red turning Pink?

My big reds are pealing and fading. Will this polish out and has anyone resprayed on the car? What paint matched the best?

the turning pink is due to the pigments breaking down due to UV. pinks, reds, oranges and other bright colors tend to be much more noticeable. have they been recoated before? the peeling could be from possible brake fluid contact and or bad surface prep prior to their finish being applied. just my 2 pennies

Do you track the car?...lots of heat can do that as well. Repainting them is a good DIY and they will look brand new again...I like the G2 two part expoxy paint but do a search, there are lots of members who have done this.

Thats due to excessive heat and doesn't polish out.

My best advice would be for you to have them soda blasted clean and repainted.
