Does the red on these fade?

Not mine at least, had a oem spoiler that used to be blue sprayed in new formula red, and it matched my boot lid 100%

only thing that has faded on my car is the wing mirrors, but i gave them a mop with my dual action polisher and came back to new.

Like every other red 90s honda, yes. Honda forgot to add any UV protection to the paint. It's meant to be clearcoated according to the garb, mine is definitely not, at least not everywhere. It needs a regular wax to keep it looking nice.

Milano red on the Civcs goes the same way as does the same colour on the older CRX DelSol.

Same on mine - the BMWchop spoiler i have is perfect but then that's the right colour code and it has lacquer on it - it does not fade.

I understand NFR is a bit weird - it's an orange base with a red-tinted clearcoat over it, which is why it flips.

I can polish red stuff off my car if I get a bit too aggressive.

I think Milano pink is a more traditional paint.

That probably explains it although as above, the mirrors are painted differently to the rest of the car - it's a lovely colour when waxed but it really does need keeping on top of.
