Specifically, that anodized surfaces can and will fade and scratch (like bicycle parts) - which is normal wear and tear. This is just the nature of colored anodized aluminum parts. The parts are still protected from corrosion even when the color fades - they just don't look as new.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIt turns out that the colors silver, black and gray are more resistant to sun fading than the red, blue and orange, especially in the sun belt states.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \r\nIt seems that notifying the customer as they choose the ProLink color may be prudent to avoid any disappointments down the road. In other words, customers who plan to park their rig in the sun all day every day should probably choose silver, black or gray and not one of the colorful choices.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Factor 55","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51024282026242,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/8199\/0914\/files\/Factor55-167679-Red_14a84c5e-f60e-4fde-a0fb-eb588df0e94b.jpg?v=1794365519","url":"https:\/\/shop.quadratec.com\/products\/factor-55-winch-line-loaded-prolink","provider":"Quadratec","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
