How are they holding up IllusionX? What kind of paint did you use? I actually thought about having a set - on an older vehicle I had - powder coated.

I used tremclad! Painted it twice because if missed spot.

It's holding well. But the salt had already eating holes on the aluminum, so it's not pretty anyhow.

Will take pics later.

Yeah, I've used Tremclad before. It's tough stuff. This time I used el-cheapo Home hardware spray paint. Once it's fully cured, I'll put a couple of coats of my Klasse sealant glaze on them. I doubt the Home Hardware paint has much for UV blockers.

Looking forward to your pics.
