My front bumper came with the bubble wrap markings on it in the paint, like the ebay auction. Nate must wrap them about 30 minutes after painting them.

Blue said:Last year I bought and installed a used SG bumper on my D2. Aside from a bit of pitting on the inside of the skid plate where debris accumulates, this thing is in great shape. No bubbling or peeling powder coating. A few very minor scrapes and scuffs but the powder coating doesn't peel away from a damaged area like most other cheap coating jobs I've seen. I had intended to soda blast this thing down to bare metal and have it professionally powder coated but there was no need.
There is no excuse for shitty finishes on products as expensive as full steel bumpers, sliders, racks, etc. When I see this shit rhino-lined I absolutely cringe. Hell, even an absolute cheap fuck rattle can finish is better looking than the fucking bedliner muck.
Maybe if your company is called Buttface Fabrication I could understand a crappy product.....

Blue said:That's funny. Sad, but funny. The guy spray paints a bumper and then immediately wraps it in bubble wrap. Then waits 6 months to ship it.

is his company an LLC?

The state of PA lets you search all registered corporations. Just to make sure the state website works, I looked up Trevor, and the Roverlab is registered as an LLC.

I got my bumper winter/spring '09 from casey. It took a little while (~ a month) but it has some of the best powder coating I've ever seen. It doesn't flake off around any bad spots and is easily touched up with rustoleum. He even told me he didn't want to charge me for the bumper until it was shipping because he didn't want to get into the old groove SG had been in before he got it.ptschram said:Casey wasn't any better.
