Like many my brown front cap started to fade badly and I was to far past my warranty for Keystone to help me. Ended up taking it to a body shop and they were able to buff out all the fading and then applied 3 coats of UV blocking clear coat. The original decals are still there, and the clear coat was applied right over the decals after they were cleaned and buffed as well. Very happy with how it looks and I'm hoping it last. Cost was just under $400BeforeAfter

They did a good job. Looks very nice.

Looks very nice. How it should be done from Keystone from the start.

Second the awesome job comment. I also take pride in the appearance of my "stuff".

Looks great! Worth the money, that kind of work ain't easy.

Looks nice. I didn't think anything like that would work. Be nice to have a follow up at the end of this season. Very interested.

Yes I agree that follow-up at the end of the season would be good. I'll make it a point to do so. If I start to see any Fading start again, I'll also be sure to update everyone.

Had mine repainted last October. All the buffing in the world wouldn't help it. Hope your's lasts.

Follow-up in about a year would be great!

Did the shop give you any type of warranty against fading in the future or warn you that the fading may come back and you took the gamble?

Yes they gave me a warranty of sorts. If the front cap starts to fade again in the next 3 years, they will apply the money I have already spent to the cost of sanding, painting and Clear Coating. My original quote was for $800 to paint and apply new decals, (I already have the decals). So I'm not really loosing anything.

Wow - they did a nice job. Too bad it faded out in the first place - I see you live in Michigan. Just another example of pi$$ poor materials and workmanship of the manufacturer.
