I was at the factory last week and the new Cougar High Country front caps are painted. One of the first things the engineer I was talking to wanted to stress was that no longer are they "molded in color" but rather are painted with automotive grade paint. The new caps really look good and according to the plant, they are having no issues with any fading. Of course they've only been painting them for about 6 months, so time will be the best test.

Also, the decals are a different type (since 2013) and are supposed to last much longer than the previous decals.
