So are you saying that your cars paint job last forever? Its clear coated.

I’m not sure that he is saying that, but what I have learned since yesterday is there are cheaper clear coats with no UV protection and more quality examples with UV protection. I’m guessing these front caps have less quality coatings since they are fading after only a couple of years, unlike most cars.

Have the cap just clear coated ...you can go right over the decal too. Never fade again oe ever.

There is an RV collision/paint shop about 20 minutes from my house. I can call them and ask about cost. A simple coat or two of clear coat would prevent this? Pardon my ignorance.

wax with UV protectants, try to keep it from ever fading.

my trailer is 2013, was already faded badly when we bought it used in 2014. I have tried some different things, but am going to try wet sanding with 1000+ and 3M super rubbing compound. If that shines it up, follow up with good wax (not decided on which one yet, but leaning towards 3M products).

If it does not take care of it, we will be having it painted. I didn't buy a trailer to be waxing it all the time.

For the cost of a bra, check in with an auto or marine paint guy. If you can remove the stickers, it's a pretty simple paint job and will hold up much better.

Thanks for the tip. It’s a brand new trailer and the finish is still glossy. I was trying to prevent an issue but maybe this is the way to go.

Yeah this sucks mine is a 2015 and the front is faded already...

Thanks for the comment. Maybe someone will have some insight. I tried doing a search on here also but couldn’t find anything.
