smittybilt accessories

Typical, poor powder coating job or maybe even only wet paint, my smitty lasted a year, most smitty products are powder coated vs. painted and powder coating if the item is cleaned properly and coated properly should easily last 4-5 (Or as long as 10) years and should WELL outlast a standard wet paint job. I would ask the place you bought it to look at it, however they will probably tell you to pound sand because most places don't warranty paint and considerit a "wear" part. To have it repainted, it will need to be sandblasted, and then powder coated. This should cost you from $100 if you know someone to more likely $200.00 If you wish I can refer you to someone that could handle this for a reasonable price. (I am in the Powder Coating Business myself, I build the systems for painting, however I do not do any coating). Cheers! Chad.

i would spray it with a couple layers of hammerite after you sandblast or and it .... i found a place that sells hammerite for 1.99 a can compared to 7-8 dollars everywere else.. hammerite takes longer to harden then most paints i would keep it somewere hot for a couple days because the paint is kind of fiberglass resin and hardens nice and dont chip.. thats the stuff the coat like rakes in
