How do you protect black car paint from the sun in Texas?
I live in Texas and I've noticed that my car's black paint is starting to fade. The car itself runs fine, and I'd like to keep it for a couple more years; is there a way to protect black car paint from the sun?

“That’s a great question—and an important one when you live in a sunny place like
Texas
! All told, the best way to protect your car’s black paint is by parking your vehicle out of the sun.Not only will this protect the paint and avoid a
costly paint job
, but it will also protect your headlights and the rubberized seals and trim of the vehicle.If you don’t have anywhere indoors to park it, consider getting a light-colored car cover. This should protect the paint from further damage by the sun.
If you want to make sure that your car insurance does fully cover paint and body repair, it can be helpful to shop policies and compare other prices to your current premium. One of the best ways to do this is with the
Jerry
app—we’ll get you personalized quotes from multiple providers instantly so that you can make sure you’re getting the best coverage for the best possible price. And if you want to switch to a new plan or provider, we’ll help with that, too!Drive safely and stay cool!”
