"Arid temperatures" doesn't really mean anything
.
Arid refers to an area with little rainfall and doesn't describe temperature either high or low.
The reference to Mexico may be an attempt to mean the maroon fenders would apply to hot climates?
Much of Mexico including many major cites are between 6-8,000' and have a quite temperate climate due to the elevation.
In any case, I can't see any science or other reasons to paint fenders maroon for either hot or arid climate markets.
