Near enough all red colour cars will turn a light pink after so many years, due to exposure to the sun. Unless you're treating the car with waxing and polishing then there's nothing to prevent this.

All I can say is go to your local car body repair garage and they might sort it out for you.

Perhaps you could sell it to a girlie

[PhilLew]

You could try some 'T cut' and some polish, oh yes and a bit of elbow grease. :-)

The elbow grase cure should work - Fords had problems with Radient pink/red which is why they changed to Colorado red

Two years is very quick to change colour though - if the dealership will not help - try to contact vauxhalls head office

PS for next time - this is why it is worth while spending a few extra pounds for metallic paint

Don'tstart doing it yourself, do as Zacmaster says, good advice.

[Bob906]

Not in two years 198x

If the car IS only 2 years old, then surely it should be covered by anti-corrosion warranty or something similar.

Do what Zacsmaster suggests and threaten them with the papers

As mentioned previously this is a common problem with red cars. VW resprayed a large number of Tornado Red cars under their 6 year paintwork warranty. 2 years is just not acceptable. It can be buffed back to red but it will always revert to pink. Legal action or the threat of it might be the only way, they will take you right to the edge but they will settle out of court, they will not turn up if you sue them.
