Not sure on paint, just be sure to keep those away from forklifts

Ready for the boating season yet?

Personelly, I prefer the IMRON way vs powder coating. Here in the salt water enviroment corrosion is inevitable. IMRON is alot easier and less expensive to refinish long term. 7 years ago I did my cig & still looks good. Holds out much better than the stock merc paint.
