despintarse (verb) — to fade, wash off, take the color off. Look up despintarse in the dictionary

Acabo de lavar mi pantalón y se despintó todo.
I just washed my pants and the color came completely out of them.
I think this is wrong.

To fade and wash off would mean desteñir.

Despintar es borrar o sacar el color de algo, además de otras cositas.
