So I went and washed the truck today and upon further inspection I find that my N-Fab rear runner has the powder coat flaking off and rusting. WTF! Has anyone else had this happen to them with powder coating? Don't know whether to have it re-powder coated or re-paint it myself.

oh wow that sucks! How long have you had them? I'd say blast them down to bare metal and line-x them. Should be GTG then.

 

wow, yeah I would say just sandblast them then line-x them

 

I've had it maybe a year and a half? There is a place here where I live that does both powder coating and Line-X. I thought powder coating was supposed to be tough and durable. I think Line-X might be the way to go.

 

I am almost positive that n-fab has a warranty on their finishes.

 

my front runner was chrome and was starting to get surface rust before i had it stripped and lined.

you can always just sell it to me cheap and ill take care of it for ya

 

Checked N-Fab's website and could not find any warranty info. I think I am just going to get it Line-X'd, less of a hassle than contacting the company and arguing with them whether they should assist me or not. Nice try Jake 89, but I'm going to keep it.

 

What would yall guestimate the price would be to have them line xd?

May help this says lifetime structure and 5 YEARS on finish

 

I had a guy here in SD tell me that he would do it for $170, but I had to strip them myself (the were chrome) with a grinder.

 

had to try it

ouch. i had my whole front bumper and light bar which were both chrome lined and blasted for 225

 

Wow that's pretty bad!


Definitely call N-Fab and get them to either send you new ones or pay for the repairs. Especially after only a year and a half.
