Chrome or Powder Coat?

[CSyd77]

forgive me in asking, but wouldnt that cause for some overheating issues, blocking airflow through to the radiator and all?

Im getting holes cut out along the sides to help with that

I think im still kinda leanin towards the chrome a bit

I would powder coat black. That would just be too much chrome

you can get a chrome powder coat. looks silvery in low light but shines like chrome in sunlight. if powder coat doesnt hold up well, why are a lot of suspension parts powder coated from the manufacturer?

You tell me, it is peeling off my torsion bars with the outer layer of steel on my F-150.

Powdercoat will never touch chrome for toughness.

If you have to redo it on a regular basis, paint is much easier to strip where there rust hasn't started and it doesn't rust as bad.

clean and polish it, then clear coat it. keeps the rugged, original look. done.
