Correct. Technically, the prel3p commands affect color substitution on following
lines, so you'll need to insert code in two places: once at the beginning of the
model to use the "faded" colors, and again at whatever point you wish to restore
the normal colors.
Here is the example car with PreL3P commands inserted:

1 4 -30 -8 -10 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 3623.DAT
1 4 30 -8 30 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3024.DAT
1 4 -30 -8 30 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3024.DAT

1 1 0 -8 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 4079.DAT
By default, PreL3P doesn't replace the basic colors known to L3P, so the "+codes
none" option says not to keep them. That allows the faded color definitions to
be used for everything.
Coming up with readable faded colors is definitely a challenge, at least for
black, white, and shades of gray. Alternatively, you might even draw everything
from previous steps in one neutral shade.
