Default Pivot charts - Losing formatting

I am using pivot charts to make lots of mini charts from a large set of data.
Every time I add to the data and refresh the charts they lose their
formatting and I have to go through and reformat everything! I have to change
the colours and the font size, its driving me crazy.

Is there a way to stop it reformatting everything and making it keep my
changes?
