Custom/Hybrid HydroTurf colors fade much?

[SuperDrifter]

Some, or many colors fade (according to HT). Has someone tried a UV inhibitor, like Frog Juice? Simple spray UV protective rattle can.
It works great for any digital vinyl print, same sun...and it's waterproof.

Red=Pink in a month
Green=Mint in a month

Orange and Blue seem to hold up, but I'd stick with Black/White/Grey.

I think a UV inhibitor would take away Hydroturf's main purpose, which is to Provide Traction, by putting a glossy coat on it. I wouldn't mess with it, it is pretty much perfect the way it is.

Orange does not hold up (Already replaced my orange footholds). Blue stays blue wonderfully.

Spray sunscreen works pretty good

Can the material be dyed? I'm sure the pink turfer's have tried something...lol

My red turned pink in less then a month, even storing the ski indoors. In fairness to HT, they warned me it may fade when I ordered....I just did not expect it to be that fast.

Hmm. Interesting. Gonna have to try this on my new ski

What SPF? Lol

Just spray a little before you ride, let it soak a bit and it helps block uv rays. Just be careful because some sunscreens have solvents in them that break up turf.

stick with black, white, grey or blue. any other color and be prepaired to have it look like with the quickness.

My orange and black turf still looks good after a few months. And we all know how hot and sunny it gets down here in Texas. Lol

Unless you cover your ski or keep it indoors it will fade in no time.

I had pink and stored mine inside. 0 problems.
