My paint on my corsa is fading away. It's flame red, and the guy who had it before more obviously didn't take enough care of it, as the arches are grey too. How do I sort the paint out so that it looks more vibrant? Also, how do I go about getting flame red arches? I don't think painting over the ones i've got would be smart. Cheers

T-cut and or a good machine polish will go a long way. Been a few "pink" corsas on here that come up amazing with abit of work. If the arches are only faded there shouldnt be any reason you cant colour code them. Easy enough to do yourself if your half decent with a rattle can. Just sand them down with fine paper until there smooth then prime, paint,laquer and job done.

T-cut it then use auto glyms polish, use the polish with a black label though, can't remember the name of it, mine was the same but using that it was shiny as fuck mate

If you want to keep the arches standard black use a heat gun on them, i was amazed when i tried it on mine they came up looking like new
