Shouldn't be any issue , base colour is water based and lacquer , oil , so no migration .

We had a Jupiter red one for three years, kept outside but looked after well, washed and waxed by me. Always looked good and no sign of fading. A200d is a nice engine.

They go well enough in sport and drive nicely in eco too. £20 road tax and decent mpg.
The only problem I had with ours was that I often bumped my head getting in. Am 5’10”.
Moved on to a B class, a bit more head room and equally nice to drive.

Hi Lee, welcome to the forum :) I think you are pretty safe with Jupiter red, havn't heard of any issues with that colour :)
