    Received my powder coated Moab 2.0 today and found some pretty good scratches where bare metal is showing. Pretty bummed that I paid extra for PC for it to be messed up before it’s even on the truck.

    I’m wondering if there’s a certain paint that matches the PC nicely?

    Probably would be faster to call CBI.

    That's why I always order bare and get it powdercoated locally. Bulk items don't get handled as well when shipped. Bumps, scrapes, and thrown packages all the time. You can try some brush on rustoleum paint but it's not going to look flush and nice if they are significant.

    Hazards of shipping.

    Definitely a lesson learned. One of the scratches I think will be covered by a fair lead but the other one is going to be ugly.

    I swear that's what the delivery guy did when he dropped (dragged behind truck and threw) off my BPF skid plate
