do your own damn homework. some manufacturers offer composite bases
for their condensers, some are metal. Some have heavier guage
galvanized steel than others. Only one goes to the trouble of
baking a powder coat finish on the lowly screws holding the cabinet
together. Some have copper aluminum coils that rot out rather quickly
in coastal corrosion areas, some have all aluminum coils that dont rot
out.

Fading can be solved with a couple cans of spray paint.
