(edit - title should read "Painting")
I'm curious if anyone has ever painted a rooftop cargo box? I have a 5 yr. old Thule CascadeXT rooftop box that I use to keep bulky, long and odd shaped items out of the van (skis, fishing poles, paddles, etc.). I was washing everything today and discovered that being outside all summer has caused the clear coat to bubble up. It looks like one giant sunburn blister from the nose of the top cover to the back.
I'm exploring my options. I got a note back from Thule Customer Support saying there is no preferred method to repair it, but I could cover it in stickers. While I appreciate the suggestion, I'm going for more of an original OEM look.
I could take it to a body shop and see what they could do. I also have a partial can of roll-on bedliner (would be hard to undo/reverse in the future). I'm just wondering if anyone has encountered the same issue and what you did, either as a repair or as a modification?
Thanks!
