    Good idea, I was about to paint my father in laws SL55 bumper so I will probably use some of that. Would you recommend clear coat or 3m clear vinyl? Seems like if the vinyl gets messed up you can just peal and restick a new one.

    I'm originally from VA, with family in jersey, so my truck used to live on salty winter roads. I thought it was bad until i got down here. As the crow flies, I'm less than a mile from the intercoastal, and about 2 miles from the ocean.where i park for work is about 200 yards from the ocean. I've seen 2 year old vehicles down here with frames that look like they spent 10 years on salty northern roads.

    the yellow top has held up like my batteries used to up north, but the non sealed batteries seemed to get their lifespans cut short by about a year or two.

    Compressor is under the hood next to fuse box. It's where I've had it for a while but finally ran the lines and fittings, and wired everything up to a switch in the storage cubby. I'll be adding a 2.5 gallon tank soon to make it really usable.
