Just curious cause I see a lot of yellow that kinda fade over time, for example E36 M3, the previous gen of current M3.
Is it because of the pearl accent on the color?

I don't have yellow but I haven't heard of any S2000 colors fading. I'm curious too.

well, this is sort of general question, instead of specific to S2000 color only. I think that yellow tends to fade faster than other solid (i.e red, white), maybe just my eyes need to be checked, lol.... but I m curious to know the expert opinion

o, btw, my company parking lot has a white S2k and I can tell you that the white is fading... the owner doesnt take a good care of the car
I think this doesn't imply to metallic, probably due to its nature of reflecting light instead of absorbing, u know what i mean?

I would imagine that technically all colors would fade the same, all other things being equal, because they are applied the same way and clearcoated the same way. I think all colors would fade the at the same rate, all things being the same, but you would NOTICE the yellow or a vibrant color more quickly, as the fading would be more apparent (as opposed to silver).
I really dont know....but it makes sense.

I'm picking up a 2005 NFR soon and the sales guy said that red fades pretty quick if left in the sun.
Just use a car cover if it sits outside, and keep a good coat of wax on it, and youll be fine.
And to answer your question.....RED is the fastest fading color. I will dig up the reasoning for it...(something about a weak pigment)

Yes, it will turn orange. S2000s are very weak in that department (reds) (I have an NFR)
