Default Canopy & Wing Covers

Hi All,
Looks like my RV-8 will be outside for a while in the Arizona sun. Casn anyone advise me as to where I can find reasonably priced Wing, Canopy and Stabelizer covers to block the UV rays and save my paint?
Thanks for your advice.

I am absolutely sold on Bruce's covers Jim. They are a bit heavier than some of the cheaper options, but they fit like a glove, are rugged, beautifully lined and built to take a lot of exposure. Years ago, I left my Grumman outside for about a year, in the gulf coast sun, and went through THREE lightweight covers in about a year. When I considered the amount of money I have invested in my RV, I figured a few hundred dollars for great protection (even though it is rare that the plane stays outside) was worth it!
