Clear coat fading

Post by Mighty Tiger »

Hey everyone, I have a 2001 Triton and the clear coat is fading away on the roof. I have observed this on other Mitsubishi's around the same year. I was just wondering how many people with Mitsubishi's are experiencing the fading of the cars clear coat?
Im a bit p#*@d off about it as it makes my car look terrible.

Cheers

cheers scott, i know someone in the game so that should help.

I saw the exact same model triton as me over the holiday and he had the fading in exactly the same spot (two strips down the roof) if i could i would have taken a photo of them side by side and posted it on the site....and Mitsubishi.
