Do you know if the colors on this fade after being in the sun, or is it fade resistant?

I am seeing some fading now...funny you should ask...I put them on most likely in the beginning of summer and now here in NE it is fall and the colors are becoming dull.

Sorry I live in Florida Keys so everything fades here . I mean it has held up but this is plastic not metal and it has been on my car only 4 months .

Had this on my car in Florida for about a year. The colors faded pretty bad after about 10 months. The basic design of blacks and blues still fairly visible, but rest of colors mostly gone. Still like it but looking for a replacement.

I've had this on my car since November and nothing's faded as yet. Hope this helps.

I may shoot it with some Clear with UV Protection in it before installing and see how it lasts, thanks for the question and answers !

Hi,It faded after being in the sun for sure! Didn't take very long either. It's still on my car after a few years but faded. Still looks decent.

We have had it for a few months and it is a very nice heavy duty cover. I would assume if it will be in the direct sun every day it might fade some.

I have had no problems with fading. I did have a problem with my original one (not feeding right) and after several suggestions from them on how to fix (which didn't work) they sent me a new one! Great customer service!

We hung and used our sun shades all summer (4 months). We recently took them (6 of them) down, folded them and with the exception of some stretching, they looked like they had just come out of the package. We purchased a pale wheat color ( not the color they advertised, the the name that best describes the color) and they did not fade. This was only one year...and I hope for as successful a summer (s) in the years to come.

You bet, many of our customers leave these out all year long. The color will fade over time but the material itself is fairly resistant to UV

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.

My replacement has lasted in Florida sun for over a yr now and looks better than then the original did so far. I was concerned also when I saw the material but its proven to he strong and weather resistant to full sun. There was nothing else available except for 4x the price and I'm sure the color still would mismatch my original sun faded cushion and pillows.

From looking online at other suppliers of this TropiShade product, the material is called "sunbrella". I have only had the umbrella for a few weeks, so I don't know how the fabric withstands sun fading. The color now is very nice, a saturated vibrant rust color. They should indicate, and they don't, the led lights are not white, but a sort of deep yellow.

We've had ours since spring and sits directly in the Colorado sun for more than 1/2 day. Have not noticed any fading, cracking, etc. Looks great.

The best I can compare it to is a rust/orange color. I will also add this color fades in direct sun pretty badly after a couple months. I have to beige one also and noticed no color change. Great item for the price.

I doubt it has UV resistance. Of course I don't know for sure, but putting any clear plastic in front of direct sunlight for long periods of time will probably make it turn yellow.

Mine has been sitting out on an uncovered patio for over a year now in the sun, rain and snow and yes, it has faded some.

Yes- but I park my car under a carport so it is shielded from the sun most of the time... The color doesn't seem to have faded at all...

Yes it is. We did spray a UVB and waterproofing protectant on it as well. Our firstnone faded reall bad in the hot sun. So. Hope this one will not do that

Hi, it has not faded at all. It looks great and it really cools off that window from the beating sun by a lot! I'm really happy with it. I don't know if or when it will start to fade but I am really enjoying this awning. I hope that helps.
