i've heard it fades too...  the black on my s10 did fade over the summer, but that was low gloss black to start with, and i never clear coated it!

I'd imagine it does fade, just like all paint.. but for $40 a gallon, i can afford to repaint it every other year loll

good p00! i painted a topper for my truck going on 5 yrs ago with the tsc paint the cheaper stuff tho not the expensive paint(theres a cheap kinda and a more expensive kind in like a silver can) and it has been sitting outside in our field and is still shiny. i use tsc paint all the time, make sure u buy the hardener they sell for it and i always use the cheap ass thinner from walmart the cheaper the better it will dry faster.
