Agreed. My rule of thumb: Mall crawler, powdercoat. Trail rig, paint. Rustoleum has a spray called Rugged Black that I like, the finish is a half decent match to MIC flares.

I managed to get a dent and gouge on top of my front bumper the last time I went out. A long rock flipped up on end. Scuffed my lower grill fascia too. :(



Hammerbuilt had a bad run of these and acknowledged it. I believe they changed the process after that. I have no issues with the finish on mine.
Unfortunately- mine started rusting after 1 winter (5 months) and they refused to do anything about it. "Normal" for MN winters (yet my fab fours FRONT bumper is still in FAR better shape)
