Thats cool, did you order it bare & have the 2 tone done? Or just redo the hinges red?

If I am being honest... I accidentally ordered the bare steel version. I got a quote for a single color powder coating for $300.00 so for $35.00 I got Hammered black and satin red spray paint. I took my time and did 3 coats. I must say the hammered black is a pretty tough finish. The red...not so tough.

Looks like you have those Rustys corners guards on. PITA to drill all those holes for those?

You know it wasnt to bad. the top holes are nut certs the bottom ones are bolted through. Rusty even includes a simple tool for the nut certs that works very well. The corners have flat steel that protects the bottom of the rear corners from dragging on rocks. two thumbs up.
