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.

If you are getting it resprayed get then to respray the bonnet aswell as it is prone to doing the same thing
