I've replaced the blue stripe on my Cobra trailer several years ago, but
it's starting to fade again. Has does anyone know how to protect the
stripe from sunlight? "Keep it inside" is not a good option.

With the amount of plasticizer added to the material to make it
flexible I would not expect most paints to adhere very long. The
plasticizer loss through migration over time is likely the major cause
of the aging. There are additives for painting over flexible materials
like automotive bumpers but only testing would determine how well it
would work and for how long. In less time than that would take you
could replace the strips. Or you could do it at Parowan on the rain
days.
