OEM black running boards fade?

Just wondering if they fade like the plastic bedliner does. They look like they are plastic coated.

 

I have a cap, so I can't speak to the bedliner fading. I do have OEM running boards and as long as you periodically (once a month or a couple of times a month in FL I'm guessing) use some 303 Aerospace Protectant on them, they won't fade. I apply it monthly to mine during months when it's above freezing and mine still look new after 3 years.

 

Ok thanks. I got my Taco used and the bedliner was faded. I have put 303 on it and it has helped but it does wear off a lot after just 1 wash.
