# Is it normal for paint to fade within the first year? | Time Paints

No. Some gradual color change over many years is expected on a sunlit surface, but visible fading within a year is early failure, not normal weathering. It usually means the paint used cheap pigments and a weak binder that could not withstand the sun. A quality paint holds its color for years.
