well, i put quite a bit of clearcoat on them when i was finished so hopefully that will help protct the paint from chipping off. i also used engine enamel on it which hopefully would be pretty durable.

aint shit durable to a tire mount arm, trust me i mount tires on a reluar basis, roughly 20 sets a week, and it will chip the fuck outta paint, even with a polyeurethan arm, and a gaurd. but on the good side they arent that hard to repaint once mounted, i had to do it
