Why does the paint on my Suzuki Every fade quickly under sunlight?

Many Suzuki Every owners in Pakistan notice the paint fading, especially on the roof and bonnet, within a few years. Is this due to poor factory paint quality, lack of UV protection, o r Pakistan’s harsh sun exposure?

Suzuki Every vans, especially older JDM-imported models, often have single-stage o r thin factory paint without strong UV-resistant clear coats. Pakistan’s intense sun exposure, especially in cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Multan, accelerates paint fading.

Causes:

Direct UV rays break down the paint molecules.

Dark colors absorb more heat, leading to faster fading.

Lack of waxing o r protective coatings.

Solutions:

Park in shaded areas o r use a car cover.

Apply ceramic coating o r high-quality wax every 4–6 months.

Avoid washing the car under direct sunlight.
