Another paint checking question - Round 2

It will continue to get worse. Just how fast it gets worst, I believe, depends on the color and how much it is exposed. Darker colors of course get hotter and checking occures at a faster rate.

As already stated, it will continue. At what pace will be determined as to how much exposure it gets to the elements.

It will get worse. I purchased a coach with paint checking and thought if I kept it under cover, it would not get worse. I was wrong. Within 2 years, the checking in the dark spots (where the worst checking was) got so bad that it lifted off the clear coat in a number of areas. At that point, you have a problem. And I kept the coach totally out of the sun whenever I was not using it. If it is in the sun, I assume it get worse more quickly, but no matter what you do, it will get worse.

Apply a good wax and it will help.

Wax may help but it did not stop the checking from getting worse. I waxed the coach at least 4 times per year and the checking still got worse.

Thank you, that is the info I was looking for.
