Hi Group,

I'm thinking of a Barcelona Red Prius and I'm wondering how the red color holds up after a few years. Back in the day red cars used to fade badly so that a car just a few years old looked terrible. I know paint technology has come a long way but I'd like to get the opinion of a couple of folks that have had a red Prius for a while.

So...how does the Barcelona Red age. Good, bad?

Thanks,

Eric

Are there after market surface treatments that might help preserve the color?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the reply. Good idea on the after market coating. What color is your Prius?

Eric

Black with a few tiny rust colored spots that have been there since I bought the used car. It was yellow two weeks ago but the pollen season is over.

Yeah, our pollen season is about mid-way through (here in Delaware).

Anyway... still looking for some coments from owners of red Prisuses (sp?).
