Default Re: Tape Marks Removed....

When DC paints the bodies of the cars at the factory the bumpers are taped off leaving them the natural grey plastic color. The problem is that the masking tape they used also stripped the UV protectant out of the plastic. This causes the areas that are taped off to fade much faster than the rest of the bumper.

What I can't answer is why they ALL didn't fade the same way. Mine are painted now, but I never had the dis-colorization that a lot of cruisers received.
