Yup ! I figured the paint wouldn't last long. Good to hear from actual installers. Now I know I will sand blast & paint mine with a high quality paint before installation. Couldn't justify the extra expense for the coated ones.....but maybe I should have. Something for other potential buyers to consider. Not pretty throwing open the hood on a nice vehicle, with a shiny new motor, and seeing rusty tubing snaking around the engine!!! Been there, done that, don't like it. Later
