Is there any way of preventing sun damage to vehicle paintwork?

Unless you plan on selling the car it offends only your eye and is not worth spending money on so my advice is to leave it as it is.

I know several people who have had their roofs resprayed. They certainly look like new cars now. Certain colours deteriorate more than others.

Darker colours tend to most vulnerable as they absorb more heat but it's mostly the lacquer which fails not the basecoat.

Keep a base coat of polish on your car and this helps to prevent the damage occurring.

Buy a cover from the Chinese. A large one for my Mondeo cost just under 15 euros and it not only protects from the sun but keeps birds off your car! I had a dent in the wing of a Mercedes. I got it repaired with a Morrocan (?) guy who did an absolutely brilliant job repairing the dent and respraying the wing for just 80 euros! Worth getting a quote from him. Drive past Zocco market to the bend and turn right .. there is a concrete pillar at the junction with some green paint on it. Up the road through the gates and go straight on (don't turn right past the storage containers) up to the end. The painter chap was right up the end of this road on the right.
Worth getting it looking nice then put on a cover. I use bungie cords front and back and clipped on the wheel to keep the cover in place, otherwise in a strong wind it will take off and disappear up the road!
Regards, Dave.
