I feel your pain!
I have a 2014 Outback with the dreaded faded cap and have been trying to get Keystone to paint the cap. I'm out of the 1 year warranty so they don't want anything to do with me. They know they had a problem with the gel coat and are now coming painted from the factory. Now I have to bite the bullet and pay $2500 to get my $35000 Outback fixed!
If you shop around at some of the big truck/bus body shops or anyplace with a big enough paint booth you can get it painted for around $1,000-1,500. Still a lot of money but less than you are talking about. Forget going to RV dealers for this. They usually send it out, mark up the price and get paid for doing almost nothing.I had both ends of my 2011 Heartland Big Country painted and these are the prices I paid. Had quotes from $800.00 at a shop in IA to $3,500 at a local RV dealer..
