    My only recommendation is to get it powder coated locally yourself. Doing this will avoid shipping damage. It will also stop the shop making/powdercoating it from using bondo type material to hide crappy welds.

    When I sanded down my Kennesaw AKA: "Tactical Armour Group" bumper I found every single weld had some crap put over them to hide them. Turns out the prep was crap and each weld where it was added started rusting out from under the coating. Must have been 5# of that crap on my bumper.

    Also I have found some fab vendors here on TW do NOT provide powder coating that has been salt spray tested for exterior use. They were charging higher rates than my local guy (who uses the correct materials) and providing what I would consider totally sub-par powder. The local guys here know who I'm talking about and they know personally why their powder coated items only lasted 1 winter before rusting away.


    Now you can beat people and not leave bruises

    How does that have anything to do with what someone else likes or built. It has no relevance and it definitely is douchey to tell someone that their work looks like shit.
