Outdoor shower door looks 20 years old

Our outdoor shower door (2016 VEGAS 25.2) looks like it is 20 years old. I was wondering what everyone else had done to keep them looking "good"?

I have thought about spray painting, but hated to remove the unit to paint it...

I know someone else has a GREAT idea on this..

New doors are available from RV Parts Country. They fit the Phoenix outdoor shower enclosure.

A 2021 Vegas would solve that problem.

If it isn't full body paint and it's turned yellow , spray 9 or Awesome Cleaner.

Tape it off, don't remove it.
10,000 youtube.ideos on painting parts and masking parts.
It's a 20 minute job.

mine looked about that same age.
Bought a rattle can of one of those spray paints they market now that stick to plastic. Black works well with my color scheme. Took 5 or 10 minutes to mask off the area & remove the lock.
A couple coats and it looked great. That was probably 2 years ago, still looks ok.
I figured it worth a shot...and if it didn't hold up or look good enough I was prepared to just replace the shower unit...readily available online

Thanks for the comment, was weighing the options of removing and taping... I was leaning to taping as I didn't want to reseal the box to the side...

THANKS!
