I may have to have someone help educate me, but in my world of sailboat land, fiberglass had gelcoat, and the color was mixed in with the gelcoat. If the gelcoat faded it was generally from oxidation and a lack of care of waxing with time. The only real solutions were either aggressively sand it to get to good gel coat (which there is only a real thin layer), or pain it, and wax it after it cured. Though once painted, it only lasts a few years and you have to redo it. We had the saying, "If it looked good from 10' it was good enough". Is the process with the caps of these units different? Or when they say repainted, do they mean re-gelcoating. Ie, respray the gelcoat, which is an art in itself.
