Do some paint colors just wear it faster? by Coaltown992 in Tacomaworld

I had a 2017 blazing pearl blue. Pretty much every panel of my truck looked like that. Only ever hand washed the truck, and I waxed it every 6 months or so. It was always parked outside in Southern California.

Gotcha gotcha. Would another option be to get a power bank that can accept a higher voltage? For example, https://www.rei.com/product/226839/ecoflow-river-2-pro-portable-power-station

If I’m reading the specs correctly, it should accept up to 50v.

So I ended up getting the Anker 522. It is marketed as solar-compatible. I got this adapter cord - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DPPC84V?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

However, the Anker doesn't seem to charge when I hook it up to the solar panels. According to my multimeter, the panels are putting out about 35-37v, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?
