Any experience with WHITE softtopper!!

Shortly will be getting the truck painted with white two tone sides as original. I am getting the hard top painted the same color. Normally this would be 'frost white". As I intend to have the white softtopper fitted for most of the time I wondered if I EITHER should get the side of truck and the hard top painted to match the soft top OR if they fade,quickly, painted to match the color they become?? Anyone have experience with white softtopper and have experience with them fading to a noticeably different color? I'm in CA so it's quite sunny here.

I don't, but I'll chime in. Looking at boats and seeing a lot of bimini tops, color canvas tops have come a long way. Also there are products to treat the canvas for color-fastness. But wouldn't white be the least likely to fade? I would be more concerned with white getting dingy from dirt rather than fading.
