powder coating is the only thing that will hold up to the snow rubbing on it all the time..

I have to say, go see mark at advanced powder coating, great prices and a cool guy to boot.

I totally agree to powdercoat.

However, properly prepped, primed and painted parts will hold up to abuse for a long time.

Rattle cans will only last for a short period of time, not a good option.

Go on ebay and buy a craftsmen powder gun, for what u want to do itll work great, then go to powderbuythepound.com ang get yourself some color, after you have all that (this is the most important part) if your living with a vagina bearer get her outa the house for a while, fire up her oven 400 +- 50 deg and start powderin,

thats how i do it, the only guy in town that does it wants $50 a part to do it, thats $200 for a set of a arms thats rediculous
