N-Fab paint finish

Has N-Fab changed thier paint process at all. I have seen numerous posts from many forums, about N-Fab nerf bars rusting after only one year, sometimes after a few months. I was suprised to see how much rust was in some of the pictures. Has anybody had this experience in more recent purchases. I was wondering if they changed thier paint process or if this is still an issue. I like the 3" model textured finish but am hesitant if it is going to rust that quickly. I live in PA where they salt alot. Don't really like the look of stainless.

 

I just ordered a set of these and will be getting them installed sat. I am interested in this as well.

 

I'm in Harrisburg and installed mine 2 weeks ago so we will see. They are covered in salt right now and to cold for the car wash.

 

Had mine on for about a month with no rust. But, it's early and I would expect them to be much better made than that. If I see rust, off they go! They are supposed to be "powder-coated." To me this implies a finish superior to just "paint." We'll see. Good luck.

 

The paint is still shit. My last set went straight to the line-x guy before I installed them.

 

Have seen where several people had them Line-x'ed. Any good pics on how that turned out? Has the Line-x on nerf bars held up to rocks and salt? Thinking about going that route if the results have been favorable.

 

Not nfabs but here is some pics of my avid sliders after getting bed lined. Just waiting on truck to arrive so I can get them installed.
