We would if we could...unfortunately we can't all live in warm climates all year around.
Our roads get very dirty, wet and salted for a third of the year.

I think painting (or epoxy) is a great idea that I am going to strongly consider after reading this thread.
Do you think its worth it?
Are there any advantages besides the appearance?

Didn't even think about that, i thought he meant keep it clean as in leave off the stickers.

There is one other advantage, the paint/epoxy smoothens out the surface quite a bit, so it's easier to clean.

I used the Duplicolor on my 04 & it worked OK but needed periodic touchup.
I used the Duplicolor on my 08 & it didn't stand up to winter this year very well at all.


I have some G2 epoxy on the way... so you can see that when it's done if you want.
