I presume that Eric is talking about the rubber bumper strip. I
would try one of those UV filtering clear sprays that are sold for
automobile trim protection and restoration from UV fading. Don't know
what brands are commonly available in the US.


John is correct. I'm looking for a product or method that's been
successful for other owners. I didn't find any info on the Cobra site,
and haven't contacted them.


Or maybe John and I misunderstood the "paint it" answer: is it practical
to paint the stripe; if so, what kind of paint is the best adhering? I
don't want to trade my faded strip problem for a flaking paint problem.
