Halfgassed,

I keep hearing about the mythical beast, but have yet to lay eyes on one of them. Please do post a pic if/when you get a chance.

Thanks. Brad.

HalfGassed,

Anodizing should hold up pretty well, being an electrochemical penetrant process. It’s paint and powder coating that will suffer over time.

Thanks. Brad.
