    Just washed the rig and noticed that my taco devil horns emblem is corroded to shit! Anyone else have the same prbm? If so did you just wire wheel the shit off and get a new layer of clear coat?

    They're from Andres here on TW. Its made from alu, with a clear powder coat. Im thinking that there was proly a small pin hole in the clear coat and some water got in there. Shouldnt be too hard to fix anyhow, just looks shitty... :mad:

    Nah, I wont bother him with it, its been on my rig for almost a year anyhow. It was proly a rock that chipped the clear coat im thinking. I wash my truck usually once every couple weeks and the last time I washed it, there was no sign of corrosion at all.

    Road salt / water under the clear coat maybe

    Contacting Andres is probably your best bet for accurate repair info and products that were used in manu

    It's probably due to your poor language skills. It's a well known fact that those who use vulgar language online to describe and complain of minor, insignificant or otherwise HGAS issues are much more susceptible to experiencing minor, insignificant or otherwise HGAS issues.

    It is also medically proven that people who do this are much more likely to either:

    1. Have their head explode causing massive bio-pollution in their immediate vicinity, or;
    2. Wet their bed while sleeping.

    It's a nasty world out there OP.

    I wish you the best.

    Sorry, did that guy just use the acronym for "who gives a shit" to admonish someone for using the word shit? Cuz that would be ridiculous.
