    Hello
    Just wondering if anybody else out there just recently bought
    The n fab nerf bars ?

    Just got mine and the paint finish on the was pretty bad !
    Had four bare metal patches on the bottom of them size of A quarter , they were
    In the exact same place on both of them , just wondering if these might be from something holding them to be painted or if I got a bad set !
    Also had a long ugly spot that looks like it wasn't sanded properly before being painted !

    Just wondering how anybody else's showed up

    Thanks

    Awesome. It's nice to see a company with good customer service. I received mine in good condition. I wonder if something was sitting on them during transport. But then again, I remember mine being wrapped up pretty tight with tons of bubble wrap. Either way, glad to see your getting a new set. :thumbsup:

    Great service. Looks like something was rubbing on them during transport or shipping...jat

    But yeah. Good customer service

    I bought same ones for my truck and they weren't like that from the factory but it took about 6 months for some of the paint to start chipping off.
