Will the color of the hood fade from age, heat or sun over the years?

We keep ours covered with the Weber cover when not in use and after 1.5 years outside in the Houston climate it still looks brand new.

I have had it for a year now (brown), so far the BBQ hasn't faded - but when it's not in not use, I have a cover and it's protected from the elements...

My Grill is still very new so not sure about what would happen with age. Where my grill sits, it is out of the sun so I don't expect it to fade. So far the heat has not affected it's color either. I really like this grill a lot, it cooks well and is easy to regulate, the sear station works perfectly as does the side burner. I would definitely recommend this grill.

We've only had our grill for a little over a year, but the color of the hood has not faded. We also keep it stored under a black Weber grill cover when not in use.

I keep it in my garage, so I cant say for sure. When I was researching what grill to purchase, I never read where anyone had an issue with fading. I would totally recommend this grill as it has been great. Make sure you get the EP version as it comes with the stainless steel interior parts. Hope this has helped.

We have two in two different places- one is under cover and the other which is out in the open has a weber cover- both are perfect

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.

No fading after 3 years. All plastics will fad in time. I live in the Mid-Atlantic region and the fender flares have held up great, so far. I would buy them again.

It does fade in sunlight after a while. I haven't tested for loss of strength though.

I have three that were installed about 15 years ago. Stood up to UV fine, but a severe hell storm took them out last year. Had to replace roof as well.

The color will slowly fade but you will need to bleach it again to fully get rid of it OR let it fade until it is light enough to deposit a darker color over the top. Feel free to email sales@doctoredlocks.com with any further questions!

No not at all. I've had mine on now for 9 months n it hasn't even faded and I live in apartments and don't own a garage so it gets sunlight all the time.

I don't recommend this product unless your grill isn't exposed to the sun. Mine faded the first year and now it looks purple so I took it off permanently for the summer.

Well, mine is still water resistant, but it's changing color on the parts exposed to the sun, I hope it will not rote

No, the cover did not fade from the sun. It is an excellent cover. I'm glad I purchased this item.

I have only had mine for a few months but in the Arizona sun and heat it has not faded a bit.

Unfortunately it will fade. I loved the colors and just put it my my grill this season and it has already faded from the NJ sun.

I suppose it must vary with conditions. It seems to turn gray over time once it is heated.

The hood is ok. I have a x5 so the emblem on the back is different and had to special order. I wouldn't recommend this product after time in the sun it turns yellowish

Mine are two or three years old. They have gone through some tough New York winters and their color has not faded.

Hi! Ours was in the sun all last summer last year and still looks just like when we got it. We love it! We got the green one!

Mine hasn't and I've had it for a few months. It's plastic so it's not likely to fade for a while.

I have not had my chairs for a year yet, so still being new it's hard to say for sure. If I were to guess I would say that the color seems like it would last for some time unless they were constantly in direct sunlight and then pretty much anything would start to fade.
