Most bumpers these days are supplied to the assembly line by the external vendors already painted. What you see is the product of different paint number batches or possibly totally different paint manufacturer even

Sure is. More than a few of my Jeeps have looked like that after a day on the trails.

Buy a Griots 6" and change the backing plate. The warranty is lifetime and the customer service stellar.

Unfortunately it's like the rest of the internet. 10 installs, 9 are great and the one that isn't screams so loudly that people think it's all bad. I did mine when I bought the house, cheap Rustoleum epoxy. 17 years later I need to redo it. I'd say I got good service out of it.

Looks great. Just a FYI, be careful with tire shine product use before you coat the floor, that stuff wreaks havoc with the bond on floor coatings.

Unfortunately you have to be careful here. National Electric code says you can have 9x duplex outlets per 20A circuit. So while you may have 18 outlets, you may only have 2x 20A circuits to the garage. My garage doubles as a a Woodworking area and for example my dust collector alone pulls 20A...

I find my Flex 3401 is noisier and has more gear clatter than my GG 6" In my experience the GG6 with a 5" backing plate and thin pads can certainly stand it's ground to a Flex 3401 and a Rupes 15. It's not as fast, but can certainly get the job done - well. Mainly the reason coupled with the...

6 speed Hemi Challenger here.

Given the subject of shipping ran 10 pages as of when I posted this it looks like it would be a good place to start :)

No, but they sure as heck discount if you ship a lot. So it's now a profit center. Pay low, sell high.

Wow. You really have no clue do you? A car mechanically can be worked on by any clueless person, even astronomers. I suggest you go look at the FAA licenses needed to do an annual on a plane. Heck, even an airframe mechanic can't work on a powerplant. There's not a cottage industry of letting...

Don't know and didn't bother to look. Here's a guess. Call the manufacturer of the plane because they know what it's made of and what it's painted with. Which was my recommendation now wasn't it?. But nooooooooo

I don't. "In addition, a typical program may also include a more in depth inspection of the exterior of a plane every 12-17 months to detect corrosion and cracks that are not visible to the naked eye using special technology. For this reason, many of the aircraft maintenance products used to...

Yes, and of course their opinion would be of more merit than the manufacturer? I think not. I would be remiss to say ANY recommendation off of some internet forum would carry less weight than a manufacturer, especially where Federal regulations may be in play. And who's to say that I couldn't...
