Did anyone have a problem with the color of the coating fading after a few months? It looks like they have been outside for years now. Disappointing

No problem with coating or color, just thought the coating was supposed to have covered the entire length of the chain, not just 1/2 way. Long story to short, is the picture(I saw) in the add that I purchased from showed the coating covering the length of the chain. Picture was changed when I notified them (after my purchase)

Yes and the became all gummy. Had to wrap in duct tape so they would'nt stick to your hands.

Mine have not faded too much. I have a set in the sun and one in the shade and the full sun chain is a little faded, but I am in South Texas so that is expected. Any bright colors will fade with sun unless the coating has a UV inhibitor added to the coating.

We have the red-coated chain on our swings and it has faded maybe a little after a year. Our swings are in the shade part of the day so that may be why they haven't faded. Not sure. Maybe yellow would do better in the sun. We have the yellow in the garage and that looks brand new.

My chain still looks great and it has been over a year since I purchased mine.

No, ours has been in extreme weather (direct sun, high heat, snow, ice, sub-zero temps, etc.) and we've had no fading. It's held up better than I'd ever expected.

We have not noticed any fading = have had it set up for 3 months in a sunny location.

Yes. Ours faded very quickly. We actually ha it next to another similar swing which shows almost no change.

I think the unit is powder coated so unless the coating is removed it should look good for a long time. If you intended to use this product outdoors or in a bathroom with a lot of moisture then perhaps after time it might show some signs of corrosion but not likely. I love the one I bought and have intentions on getting a few more.

There is a slight glaze, but I'm pretty sure it fades after 24 hours... Though, now that I think about it, it may still very slightly be there.. Nothing too crazy though!

I have this knife and 3 others that have the "coating" - none of them have peeled at all, even after I sharpened them which takes the color off a tiny bit of the very edge. Never put them in the dishwasher, always hand wash & dry. Maybe you got a defect?

We have had ours for over 2 years. Last year it definitely started to fade. We will be buying another.

I bought mine last summer. It has faded just a bit; otherwise it's still beautiful, and all lights and parts are working.

I've had the grill for a few months, yes the color on the front edge of the hood is starting to discolor a bit from the heat.

Yes... I'm unfortunately finding that out. My window scene is just over a year old. I'm having to touch it up with folk art paint and seal it with clear. Very disappointing, considering it's made for windows! Also, the colors aren't very dark to begin with... I used many coats.

I haven't had it long. I think all covers discolor and get stains but having it beige is better than what I had before - a gray color. It looks great. It may need additional waterproofing. I am planning on spraying it. The bottom stitching is weak. I tried to pull the elastic string to bring it in like the picture and some of the stitching in the opening ripped. This is their only problem with detail. I can easily sew it though. So don't pull it too hard. Take your time pulling the string on the bottom. I think for the price, it is the best looking cover I've ever had for my grill. Very classy looking. Fits perfectly. I haven't had it long.

It went away fairly quickly. I have had mine for a few years and they still look brand new

Mine are fine, it's under an awning so not in full sun all day long, I read revues before I purchased, and others had mentioned fading, but mine have not

4+ years. Slight peeling of coating at a corner or two but not really visible. Full Midwest winters!

You just didn't notice them when you first got it. I have the dinning set, the bistro set and two lounge chairs. They all have small rust areas. The coating on it is like a "primer". I bought a can of Rustoleum that matches exactly and sprayed the spots. I'm sure more will appear and I'll spray those too.

I've had it on for about 4 months now and it's definitely not as shiny as it was but it hasn't rusted yet. We will see what the winter salt does to it.

The coloring appeared as advertised, HOWEVER... mine has faded nicely to a much lighter shade after a couple months in the Texas sun.

I have left mine outside under the hot LA sun for 6 months. Still looks the same to me.

Ditto to what Ken Baxter. It does discolor. But it's not a big issue for me.
