FADING OF COLOR:

Most paints change color to some extent after exposure. Acrylic paints have better color retention then most standard alkyd paints. For best results, use a top quality acrylic coating system (primer and finish) with sufficient finish coat(s) to achieve an adequate, uniform film thickness.

Lighter colors generally keep their color longer than dark colors. For deep colors, try to use factory made colors rather than in-store tinted colors.
