That looks good!
What makes it better than the rollbar paint? Anything specific?

Ugh.. I know. Such a pain since it is on a suburban and can't just pull off the box, or cab easily.

Rustoleum appliance epoxy is much cheaper than VHT and is pretty similar $25 for 6 can at Home Depot vs VHTs $8 each. The 2K aerosols are more chip & chemical resistant but expensive. I'm not trying to win any shows so I will just touch it up on occasion. The VHT Epoxy that I sprayed on my control arms is holding up pretty good.
Thanks! Did you prime first then hit it with VHT? Or since it is epoxy, it's all in one?

Im up in Canada, and by the time a few suppliers bring it up, and import etc, the price becomes ridiculous. If I was down in the lower 48, Eastwood would have been my go to.
