Well i was going to buy a set of Olympic rocker bars for my jeep, then, i went and priced a stick welder,,havnt welded since i was 19 :) i got it, brought it home, ive built a brush-bar on my winch-plate and have re-mounted my K-C lihgts, over the winch, ive spot-welded my nut-heads on the winch, just two, im in the middle of building a sort-of- look-alike rocker-bars im having a ball, teaching my son how to weld, and what flash-burn feels like,,axidentaly, how to cut half a finger off, and get 16 stiches, with a grinder-wheel, all and all, , so far hes learning NOT to do what im doing,,,, , im getting more stuff built myself for the same amount of money ida spent on one item, and having fun doing it. , but i do have one question, whats a tough paint?? heres where building verses buying gets me, as i cant powder-coat. ive anodized tons of aluminum, but cant powder-coat large stuff, , so i need opinions on a tough paint, thanks, johnp
