if you are on about the whole of the rest of the car, after it went kind of orangey pink i Tcut ed my whole car, then gave it a couple of coats of Tcut colourfast wax, it is the original bright flame red now.

apparently ur supposed to leave newly painted bodywork 7-10 days to dry properly before u t cut, if u do before maybe the white misty thing will happen? not sure, all I know is I've learnt to leave it quite a few days cos the tcut just took layers of paint off mine.

flame red is not laquered. just use t-cut on it. its naturally fades, my bros corsa is flame red and we are gradually working our way round the car spraying the whole lot so it looks shiny again

flameredcorsab I had a similar occurance which happened many weeks after spraying my doorhandles,the painted area had been rained on and Basically the moisture got into it and reacted with something to bring up patchy/misty white bits. It was very odd.
I resorted to rubbing it down and redoing it.
Never using spray cans again and always using an Air compressor and a spray gun. Plus I havent laquered it this time.

make sure you use wax after t-cutting to protect the surface.

yea i have noticed the top of the shoulders down the sides of my car have started to sunfade only (slightly though) since i last waxed, but another wash and whip round of colourfast should cover it up a treat
