05 Taco Impulse Red Fender flares turning orange

I own a 05 SR5 impulse red.It seems as though my fender flares (all 4 ) are fading to orange. Just getting a big runaround from dealership.Does any one have this problem or know of anyone.

Thanks

 

nothing here, how often have you waxed them? Got any pics?

 

Mine are an ok dull Impulse Red not as vibrant as the rest of the truck but they have always been this way. 2006 bought new in March 2007 fwiw.
Can you post pics? echo echo echo

 

Like the others said pics please. Also, how often is it parked outside in the sun/weather?

 

That's why as great as it looks I would never buy a red vehicle. The amount of work it takes to keep red from fading sucks. Cherry like reds tend to orange out over time where darker reds go maroon.

A good clay job and finish restore should help a bit.. maybe even some rubbing compound? Whatever you do make sure you wax and protect after.

 

Here is a pic The truck is parked outside all day every day...waxed every couple months Do you think its defective paint

 

Mine do not look like that at all and lives all its life outside to the elements.
I am in Vermont and the sun only shines about 2 months a year tho.
Don't know why this happened.
Here is a bump to the top maybe somebody else knows
ps. I have not really detailed my truck either like in 3 yrs...

 

What is a bump? Im kinda new to the forum thing

 

Im having this same issue.... BUT MINE IS A 2011!!!! Only 2200 miles and already there is a color difference! Im headed to the dealership tomorrow.

 

A bump is either a way to move a topic back to the top of the front page...or a cheap way for us to post whore, your choice http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/103845-bumping-notsure.html

 

Thanx... Stopped at the dealership (Runnemede)and talked directly to the service manager and he said to call back in a couple of days. Gotta talk to toyota directly.

 

Did you ever find a fix for this? The same thing is happening to my truck...

 

I have an 2008 Impulse Red DC too. Am waiting for the day that my flares turn orange only because they are made of plastic/fiberglass. Sun takes its toll on these things.

Yeah, it sucks!

 

I was blown off by two Dealerships....Turnersville & Runnemede. They said the warranty had expired.

 

I had seen an 05 Camery that had the same problem with the plastic turning orange

 

Anyone get any answers on this? Do I just get them re-painted because i am having this same issue

 

I too have an 05 and mine are kinda fadded, not quite that bad. But i figure when it gets to be enough to bother my ill get them linex'd. i seen a white taco that had it linex'd and from the lower trim line down and it look pretty sharp i thought.

 

Im gonna replace with black bushwacker flares and eventually change the bumpers to black
