Replacing the stripes on a Cobra trailer
In general, avoid red plastics for outdoor (uv exposed) use. Ever since
cadmium was banned as an additive in the late seventies (?), noone has found
a replacement that will make red last.

Using, yes, blue on the Cobra

I also noted from looking at a lot of trailers that the red strips
weathered much faster than the blue so I changed mine to blue.
Red does that. Mine are 2001 vintage and there is no color left. Too
much FL sun, I suppose. I was going to paint them with something
rather than replace them. It seems cheaper, and perhaps easier.
I'm sticking with red because of the red logos on the glider.
