Coating on vinyl shutters to reduce fading?

[Challynger]

I'll be replacing my old faded vinyl shutters. They never last very long before fading. Wondering if a coating on new shutters will extend how long they last before fading. Also wonder if a coating could even be applied due to the textured surface. Thoughts?

I wouldn't think it would hurt to at least try, never know may help.

Just wondered if anyone else tried it for this or similar applications. Also, if I try it and it doesn't work, it does hurt... It hurts my wallet! :dig:

I have painted mine with a good exterior paint and they have lasted quite a while. Its about time to replace them cause they are getting broken where they mount but I would think some exterior paint should freshen them up for you and be much less expensive.

It wouldn't hurt to try Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus on the old ones before throwing away the old ones. If it doesn't work, they will work great on your cars black trim.

And tires. It's amazing stuff, tiny bit goes a long long way and lasts

I sprayed mine with a good enamel paint a few years back and they still look good.
Mine too was vinyl.
