            I guess if you want the color to even out, put the other side in direct sunlight for a time.

                It looks kind of cool. Maybe fading Red Fires intentionally will become a trend. 😆 I wonder how different it looks compared to a regular gold?

                  it’s a lot more copper than the regular gold.. and no violet interference.. it’s just funky

                      When I worked at a large-format print shop, we always assured our customers that our inks were UV treated and that outdoor signage would resist fading for 1-3 years. Some pigments seemed to be more vulnerable to damage though. A sign placed outside with blue, yellow, black and red pigments would look like a regular blue, yellow, and black sign in a year or so. Those darn reds just hate the light.

                      My guess is that red pigments on any Windstone will fade faster than other colors–so red Windstones would be at the highest risk for fading, while a green dragon, for example, would be comparatively unaffected if it sat in the same place as the red. More speculation than anything else–I’m not about to test it!!

                      Placing a red dragon in a window exposed to that deathly desert heat and sun…that would test just about any paint’s limits! 😆

                      I actually like how it looks with the fading paint not that I’m going to put my ruby lap in the sunlight 😀

                      I liked it too, but I wouldn’t subject my OW to it!

                        The really ironic thing is, it looks great. 😮 Very handsome and dragony shade.

                        Tempted to squeak for a limited run of a pre-faded tone. 😆

                          I liked the color too at first.. until I saw that it was faded.. then I was like.. darn it’s not really that color..

                          and about the heat.. Flagstaff isn’t really desert.. it’s more mountains.. it’s not extremely hot there..in fact it was pretty cool and raining while we were there.. and it gets a lot of snow in the winter.. but the elevation has something to do with the strength of the sunlight.. closer to the sun the more potent the light..

                          at least that’s how my friend put it.. LOL

                          omg… the first thing I did was check my ruby fledgie. He gets a teeny (and I mean teeny) amount of morning sun, but his left and right sides are the same… no fading. He has the older ruby paint job with the dark purplish tint. If I’m not mistaken, I remember someone saying that’s auto body paint. I wonder if that makes a difference?

                          Poor scratcher has a split personality, but it’s really neat. 🙂 I think I would have to bake his other side and even him out. 😀

                          Wow…. that’s good to know about the Red Fire dragons. I have to say I really like the way that one side looks though, even if it is very faded. Thanks for posting!
