they've all been fine but this way is much more durable. good job

I have used Valspar Tractor and Implement paint from tractory supply and that shit so thick it covers up everything and it wont come off for dick.

Good job bro...since I don't have the time to do any of what you did I'm just going to pay $100 to have my set powdercoated in the near future. Good post, though, repped.

Looks good as hell.. If only I had the patience to do it. Actually it's more of not having another set of wheels to ride on than not having the patience. lol

Neither, There was so much dirt and grime it would be way to hard to sand it and primer and stuff... but you cant even tell... but some paint and stuff did go down there so it looks good
