Did they say what type of paint they used?

I dont know the names but I was talking to a guy about a respray for mine an he sed using something like a red based coat first then laquer after instead of a white based paint and adding red something which is what vaux do which leads to fading....

I wanted solid colour. Not a fan of base and clear.. You can use a UV protection clear that helps keep the red pigment, its more durable too but it never looks quite as good
