Some of this & some of that...

What's going on TW,
I recently purchased a used BakFlip G2. Everything is in working order, but the panels are a little sun faded. Has anyone ever tried to repaint or recoat the panels? If so, what did you use and how long has it lasted? I was thinking of using a roll on bed coating, but I am curious if anyone on TW has any other suggestions and or opinions/advice for the bed coating.
Also, the main problem with this bed cover is it can be unlocked by anyone with a coat hanger, even if you have a pop lock. Has anyone tried to replace the locking tabs on the panel closest to the tailgate? If so, did you use stock replacements or a new locking mechanism?
If a similar post has come up, please link me since I couldn't find one in the search field.
Thanks for your time TW members!

Cheers.
