well.. my paint is almost 6 years old too.
Car paint generally "fade" to a lighter shade. A wax/polish with UV protectant will slow this down.

I know its due for another treatment soon. Have to get it fixed up for the wedding.

Of course the other possibility is that they've changed the tint of Silverstone over the last half decade.

I would be interesting to compare the MY00's against each other to see for signs of wear.

So true. Silverstone is known to be difficult to match in the aftermarket. Hell, even Honda can't get the paint right when they paint stuff like spoilers, lips and side strakes.

Robbie's is probably turning Blue from rubbing his MF towel over it repeatedly.

Mannn, being the photo expert that you are, how do we know you didn't "doctor" the colors just a wee bit?
