The key difference is going with a huge company that uses a chromate conversion process ($$$). The older powdercoater did just fine, but we wanted a better finish and we are using the same powdercoater and powder and process as the makers of the Minnkota trolling motors (for boats), so we know we are getting a decent finish.
Any “fading” is usually due to the sun combined with dirt and build up within the texture of the powdercoat. I suppose if one waxed the cover upon receiving it, the dirt build up would be minimized?
Anyway…I really like the new powdercoater and they do a great job:
Inserted Note: I had to delete the links to the powder coating company that Scott had here in his e-mail response because they were not allowed by Titan Talk since I have less than 15 posts.

Thanks for the info. Now I wish I had waited longer to buy my Lazer Lite.
