Default 2006 Sporstman 700 EFI Camo Turning Purple

Two of my co-workers own 2006 700 EFI's with the Mossy Oak Camo package. They are having issues with the stickers turning purple. We are guessing from reading on the forum that it is from heat issues. I have not found a specific thread for this problem and was hoping someone could enlighten us if they have had the same problems and will Polaris help out at all on the replacement. These 700's are very well taken care of and garage kept. Any thoughts out there??????

i've never had the problem, I had a camo 05 700 EFI and now an 06 Camo 800....

the discoloration i've seen is from the sun....I use Turtlewax F21 Super Protectant on the camo, it keeps it looking like new and blocks the UV rays from the sun...

Thanks for all the input guys. They have been in touch with the dealership and hopefully the dealer will at least meet the guys half way.
